Is it possible for cyrus and postfix to cause a hardlock when no other programs seem to? 1-10 minutes after I start my mail server, the system hardlocks. I can record and transcode gigabytes of tv shows, run a web server, download and upload tons of stuff, and test the system in any way with no problems. Windows has no problems. Yet when I start cyrus, postfix, and saslauthd, the system indexes the mail for a while, then dies. Anyone ever hear of this before? I don't understand it. There's no kernel modules or special syscalls a mail server program runs, right?
This is fedora development (2.90) with kernel 2.6.8-1.541 with latest cyrus-imapd, saslauthd, and postfix. I want to figure out whether I should file a bug report, since this almost doesn't make sense...
