Thanks, this sounds bad.  We must be marking your mail program as
non-interactive while it's starting up.  What is the program?  Oh, and on
a dual system?  This is most suspicious.  Do you have any other tasks
running at the same time?  This looks more like the long term balancer has
a problem as well.

I actually just made some changes there.  Can you update your sources as
well?

Thanks for the report!
