This patch changed quite a few things, so it's not obvious exactly what is causing the problem. Do you know if qmail does any discriptor passing? The code makes discriptor passing a bit more mbuf intensive, so it's possible that you're running your machine out of mbufs. I know qmail tends to run machines as hard as it can, so it may have run the machine into the ground. Also, are you running on alpha or i386? David.
