Summary:                    exited on signal 11
Description: 
Since rebuilding a number of dbmail machines onto FreeBSD 9.1 and 9.2 with
dbmail 3.1.10 we are seeing random crashes of the pop3d daemon as below:-

Feb 11 09:09:11 redacted-db-4a kernel: pid 1577 (dbmail-pop3d), uid 65534:
exited on signal 11

Each time it fails on signal 11.

Currently using libzdb from ports in freebsd version:- libzdb-2.11.3 and
libevent2 from ports - libevent-2.0.21-stable

this should actually be a crash but I failed to mark as a crash when I
submitted it.

Alas with my limited testing I'm unable to reproduce this bug.
Would it be feasible to get a backtrace after building a debug version?
(adding WITH_DEBUG_PORTS=mail/dbmail to /etc/make.conf)

Hi Alan,

Getting it on 2 machines.  Unfortunately they're live so it's a bit tricky
but will see what I can get.  I've enabled debugging in dbmail itself to
see what I can get.  If it fails again i'll rebuild one of them as above.

Presume this isn't relevant:-
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/dbmail/users/34008  though admittedly
libzdb in this instance is version 2.11.3

James, the thread you mention only affects imapd.

Getting a debug trace on the crash would help.

Oddly the last 2 deaths on one machine were the following (different
signals):-

Feb 11 22:13:45 mail4-db-3a kernel: pid 78837 (dbmail-imapd), uid 65534:
exited on signal 6
Feb 12 11:54:32 mail4-db-3a kernel: pid 2346 (dbmail-pop3d), uid 65534:
exited on signal 10


This particular machine was running fine with with 3.0.2
