Spamassassin error in maillog: prefork

[NightStorm]

Spamassin will randomly error out and die.. well, not die as the service keeps running... but it will stop working, and return a prefork error. Found this as a reported bug, but should anyone else experience the problem, at least they know that it's something being worked on.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q="Mail/SpamAssassin/SpamdForkScaling.pm+line+554"

Affects:

SpamAssassin Server version 3.1.0
running on Perl 5.8.0
with SSL support (IO::Socket::SSL 0.96)

So until a patch is released that fixes the error, expect the possibility of some tweaked customers getting suddenly bombarded with **** until spamassassin restarts.

The error returned is:

prefork: syswrite(7) failed, retrying... at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/Mail/SpamAssassin/SpamdForkScaling.pm line 554

Of course, the "fix" is to run spamd with --round-robin, but /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/spamd does not support that option. I'm left with setting a cron to restart spamd every hour so as to assure that it keeps doing it's job.

Anyone else have another suggestion on how to patch this up?

I have the same exact problem.
