[Bug 4259] New: spamd forking protection

http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4259

           Summary: spamd forking protection
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: quinlan@pathname.com


When running in normal mode (Apache-style preforking), the fork() code in
spamd should have some protections to avoid forking too often in case there
is an unknown unhandled error.  The rescaling might also be happening too
often when under load.

Well, we know when we fork.

We can probably make some sort of maximum speed estimate (no rules, no parsing)
that will last forever.

If we fork faster than that, something bad is up.

Triage: simply assigning a reasonable target milestone. Could also be reasonable
for 3.1.1
