Hey there,
Just upgraded a test box to 4.08 and all went well with the exception of maildrop spawning a bunch of processes. I vaguely remember something about this in the mailing list but can't seem to find it now and can't seem to track down what the root of the problem is (it is out of the ordinary yes?). Can anyone hit me with a clue-stick?

You have some very large messages in your queue, most likely because during the upgrade, you didn't comment out the perl processes while upgrading Perl. Remove the offending messages from the queue.
