Here's the results of a scan across all my mail logs:
Processing file /var/log/maillog*
3544 Messages found
3538 Results (99.8%)
6 SIGCHLDs caught (0.2%)

I've checked all the SIGCHLD log lines. The previuous scan by those
children were all in the range 1.- to 3.1 seconds. I'm using the default
child population and the default --timeout-child of 300 secs.
