all vpopmail processes are short lived. If there is an open mysql connection
for any reason for more than about 3 seconds, there's a bug.
I would recommend upgrading to a newer version, as I believe this bug has been

Then again, I would also recommend removing gentoo's qmail ebuilds and
installing it by hand.. but that's a discussion for another day.
