	All the symptoms listed sound like the smtp process is
	dropping a core at the event.

	Is there a core at $POSTOFFICE/transport/ directory ?
	Can I get the backtrace ?  (See that you start the
	scheduler so that it/its children can drop cores..)

	(2.99.48p3 does not drop the core, nor does it freeze at
	 Linux..)
