spamd: server hit by SIGCHLD

>From time to time I am getting these error messages:

Nov 15 22:30:40 spamd[4749]: server hit by SIGCHLD
Nov 15 22:30:40 spamd[4749]: handled cleanup of child pid 10774
Nov 15 22:30:40 spamd[4749]: server successfully spawned child process, pid 21719

Is there a problem with my configuration?  I am running Debian Sarge with Spamassassin 3.0 (from debian unstable).

Thanks,

Thanks for explanation,

Then there should be additional entry to logcheck, so logcheck will not 
pick this up as security even. I'll file a bug with debian packaging team.

This is normal, and I suppose starting to become a FAQ, it happens
whenever a child has processed it's required number of messages and
dies to allow another child to be created.
