Sorry, I haven't had your last patch (mail) before I've written the mail 
you are referencing.

I have updated my mail-system at home (armv5 with 128mb ram) and the 
incoming queue, mainly filled through lkml, is still not completly 
processed. ~2000 messages (3 days) need some time to go through 
spamassassin on such a low-level hardware. ;)

I've seen you've switched from do {} while() to "something else", but I 
can't comment on that "something else". Because I've already switched to 
4.5.2. I'll have to dig out a system where I have a 4.5.1 to test the 
problem occured with the write.
If anybody else already has tested it, I'm fine with it.

Regards,

Alexander
