spamd ForkScaling.pm error

[John Goubeaux <go...@education.ucsb.edu>]

Can someone possibly shed some light on this errror I received,  that 
also coincided with my spamd processes dying. I have been running 
this version of spamd (3.1.5)  for a month now and have not seen this 
error nor had the daemons crash alltogether. Is this due to resources 
unavailable  and or the max number of children limit reached (which i 
have set for 20)

       return 1;     # 1 == success
     }

       return undef;
     }
     else {
       die "prefork: ordered child to accept, but child reported state

     }
   }
}
