Does running a sample message through spamassassin and spamc manually
yield any clues?

Another possible troubleshooting step if it keeps happening and you can't
find anything logged anywhere would be to run spamd in the foreground (vs.
as a daemon) so that you could see any error messages it generates when it
crashes.

Umm. It "crashed" and spamc can't connect to it anymore.
So I guess the answer is "none".

No, but that was a useful hint what to do next time it crashes.
Unfortunately I don't have any queue before SA, so I can't reproduce the
message, but I'll check my MRA docs (exim) for something that might
help. Thanks.
