OTOH... I'm having trouble seeing where this could cause the whole spamd process tree to lock up completely for ~15 minutes. (It locks hard enough that a monitoring process gets "connection timed out", even though there are only 5 spamd children running - as per an incident just after noon today.)
total shot in the dark: Do you use Bayes autoexpire? a long autoexpire job during highish load can do weird things. if you're using file based DB check for orphan expiration files. many of these indicate somethign isn't right. Don't know how sql reacts - only used it for tests.
