We're running off 0.28.  (I have no time to update it to 0.29 - nor any 
hints that taking the time to update would fix this.)

FWIW, when we step into the processes with gdb, it is in a loop in the 
Perl_newSVpvn () and it doesn't exit that function.  So, I'm not convinced 
a log message will help.  I'll also note that these pids do *not* appear in 
our qpsmtpd multilog logfiles - which is just odd.  -- justin
