with 2.40, but havent yet with 2.41 (not a long run though). I have also
not seen it with 2.35 which is what I am still running in production.

Stopping it and sendmail, waiting a minute and restarting them generally solves the problem. Not quiet sure what causes the crash, but it's not very often on my box.
