pop3 processes gone wild

I've just found that I had a lot of pop3 processes hanging around and
was wondering, because usually that number is much smaller. So I looked
into logs, and found tons of these messages:

pop3d Error:[server] pool.c,reap_child(+522): Cannot send SIGTERM to
child [19751], error [No such process]
pop3d Message:[server] pool.c,scoreboard_state(+590): Scoreboard state:
children [46/200], spares [45 (5 - 15)]

This was running all the time (33.313 log lines just today), but no pop3
process seems to got killed. Known problem?

# dbmail-util -V
This is DBMail version 2.2.10

Since my restart of dbmail-pop everything is fine again. Still I'm
uncomfortable that this even happened. Any ideas what could have caused
it? Could be a bug?
