qmail startup error --xrealloc: cannot reallocate....

["Trey Nolen" <tnolen@internetpro.net>]

I have posted this question to the Qmail lists and newsgroups, but haven't
gotten any replies at all. The only thing I have found about the xrealloc
problem was on the Debian list archives, so I thought someone here might
know what was going on. I'm not sure if it is a Qmail problem or a Debian
problem.


I'm running a Woody system with Qmail 1.03.  Everything has been working
fine, until the other day the server quit accepting connections on port 25.
I
checked and qmail-send, qmail-lspawn, qmail-rspawn, and qmail-clean are all
running fine, but the tcpserver for qmail is not running.  I stopped it
using the init scripts, and tried restarting. On restart, I get this error:
Starting mail-transfer agent: qmail./qmail: xrealloc: cannot reallocate 512
bytes (0 bytes allocated)

I know my tcpserver is OK because I'm using it to run qmail-pop3d, which is
working fine.   My command to start the tcpserver for qmail is:

/usr/bin/tcpserver -- -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
            -g65534 -u64011 0 smtp \
            /usr/sbin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | logger -t qmail -p mail.notice &

I checked to make sure that the user and group numbers were correct, and
they are.  I know the tcp.smtp.cdb database is OK, since it works with
qmail-pop3d.  Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing that
error?
