pop3s terminated abnormally, signaled to death.

[Adam Tworkowski]

Hi,

I had a situation yesterday were POP3 suddenly became inaccessible.
IMAP and mail delivery had no issue.  At one point the server load when
to 40 because of the pop3d.  Eventually a restore was done from backups.
Does anyone have insight into this?

The only reference I can find to "signaled to death" [sic] is in
relation to Berkley DB but I haven't found anything useful about "25".
Any pointers would be appreciated.

SuSE9.2 with Kolab 2.0 (which is due to be upgraded this month).

Thanks,
