As regards the original question I just remembered that something like this has come up before. IIRC there's a problem with timing-out a spamd child while it's inside a regex, so a single bad regex can cause serious problems. It's most likely a rawbody, or possibly a body rule.
How would that affect the master spamd process though? Once it's locked, new connection attempts just time out. If it's a rogue regex, I'd expect to see a bunch of spamd children crunching away, but new connections going through just fine (at least up to max-children).
