David,

  the multiplexor appears to be alive however. (as far as I can tell) 
... the socket is created and it's in the process list.  do you have any 
idea what might cause it to be so slow (somewhat suddenly) ?

I also noticed that mimedefang.pl -features hangs as well. I've narrowed 
this down to *something* in my filter.  Although I haven't figured out 
what yet, and nothing in the filter has changed during the period of 
time where everything was working as expected and it stopped working.

I'm stumped.
