connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1 failed

I've seen this a couple of times the last few days in my syslog.  Tonight, I 
saw it after updating to 3.0.4:

Jun 11 19:38:21 cpollock spamd[7668]: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down 
Jun 11 19:38:22 cpollock spamassassin: spamd shutdown succeeded
Jun 11 19:53:32 cpollock spamc[26370]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1 
failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused
Jun 11 19:53:33 cpollock spamc[26370]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1 
failed, retrying (#2 of 3): Connection refused

Prior to upgrading from .0.3 to .0.4 I ran #service spamassassin stop, and 
also shut down fetchmail so that nothing was processed, when the update was 
finished I started spamassassin and fetchmail.  The below is 'not' when I 
started SA

Jun 11 19:55:10 cpollock spamd[26754]: spamd starting 
Jun 11 19:55:11 cpollock spamd[26754]: server started on port 48373/tcp

Jun 11 19:55:11 cpollock spamd[26754]: server successfully spawned child

Jun 11 19:55:11 cpollock spamd[26754]: server successfully spawned child 
process, pid 26763 
Jun 11 19:55:11 cpollock spamd[26754]: server successfully spawned child 
process, pid 26764 

This is where I started SA and fetchmail

Jun 11 19:57:21 cpollock spamd[27144]: spamd starting 
Jun 11 19:57:21 cpollock spamassassin: spamd startup succeeded
Jun 11 19:57:30 cpollock fetchmail[27167]: starting fetchmail 6.2.5 daemon  
Jun 11 19:57:33 cpollock spamd[27146]: server started on port 783/tcp (running 
version 3.0.4) 

But between 19:55 and 19:57 there is this:

Jun 11 19:55:12 cpollock spamd[26760]: processing message <9PS291LhupY> for 
root:0.

scantime=0.4,size=3131,mid=<9PS291LhupY>,autolearn=spam 

I do 'not' have autolearn enabled.  Any ideas what may have happened?  
Googling the error in the first lines seems to mention something about 
spamassassin as a server and spamd not running.  Spamd is most certainly 
running as shown in running processes.

Sorry for the long msg with log cuts but not sure what, if anything is amiss.

Thanks
Chris

Shouldn't have been since I also shut down fetchmail at the same time.

I'd probably have to say they did.  I install w/cpan via webmin.

You're probably correct in all of the above alan, I just don't remember seeing 
it before.  Then the only really odd thing is the connect(AF_INET) to spamd 
at 127.0.0.1 failed error.

is it possible that you had some incoming mail that was trying to 
connect to spamd even after you shut it down for upgrading?

Did these appear during the installation process?  if so, if you ran 
'make test' these are probably the results of that.

again, this is probably the results of the 'make test' and actually 
running tests against spamd.

I use spamassassin in such a way that I do not use spamd (nor need it) 
yet during the 'make test' part of my CPAN install, i see spamd messages 
in my maillog (as a result).
