2 strange fatal SA errors

Hey guys,

got some strange problem during my vacation the last week. For once it seems
that the network stack of SA crashed so no new processes could be spawned or
that the spamd crashed and blocked the port. The second problem looks very
cryptic to me maybe some Perl guru's can help me pointing in the right
direction to look for the problem.

My guess is that the machine runs out of memory and strange things happen
but I want to be sure not that the machine will kill itself during my next
vacation which will be longer than a week....

P.S.: Sorry only got screenshots as I wasn't around...

the segfault makes me suspect that your memory may be failing. You
might want to switch it out for known good memory, then run a memory
tester on the sticks.

Memory was switched. 8GB good and reliable Kingston in these boxes (4 each).
But I was suspecting memory too. Need to check that.
