I've had the problem happen starting Sunday morning with an automatic sa-update.
(I have until Sunday had it automatically sa-compile and restart after an
update)
It affected various 64 bit machines; we only use 64 bit OSs on AMD64 quad and
hex core machines. I use the Suse factory provided desktop kernels.
Opensuse 10.3, perl 5.8.8, SA 3.3.1, re2c 0.13.5
4x Opensuse 11.3, perl v5.12.1, SA 3.3.1, re2c-0.13.5-29.1.x86_64
My computers ran out of ram as a few of the spamd processes were using up 2GB of
ram each and not stopping, even with timeouts specified on the spamd startup. I
could watch the processes keep growing and not dying in top.
I turned off the automatic updating, restored from a recent backup
/var/lib/spamassassin/, sa-compiled, and it's working great.
I'll wait for word that the stuff distributed via sa-update is fixed.
