One of my usual users is getting hit again, and it's locking up the system

I'm absolutely convinced there's a certain type of spam doing this.

I of course have no idea what to make of this output. Pointers?
Each line is one file descriptor. So it doesn't appear that it's using an
insane number of them.
Next time spamd hangs up, you might want to do this check though.
I'm outta ideas... I don't know if Justin will have any ideas without a full
strace of a problem spamd parent and children (which could be difficult in
getting with the amount of messages processed by your system).
BTW, I believe there's a bug open on this mentioning the "__alarm__"s
appearing in the maillog. I can't remember what bug number it is at the
moment though.
