SpamAssassin 3.0.3 errors - connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1 failed - attempt 2

[Mick Szucs]

I sent this in on Friday last week and didn't attract any responses. 
Any insight would be appreciated.  I've seen this behaviour once since 
then, despite my cronjob restarting spamd every 4 hours.

Should I just open a bug report?
----
I'm running spamassassin 3.0.3 as a "proxy" on three mail servers.  This
morning at 2am one of the three (but not the other two) started spewing
a lot of
spamc[8000]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#1
of 3)
and did not identify any messages as spam until a user complained and I
restarted spamd a few minutes ago.
Any ideas as to what's going on and what I can do to keep it from
happening again?  As a kludge for now I'm going to have cron restart
spamd every few hours.
