If memory serves, that was usually caused by database deadlocks or leaks
of some sort in lmtpd. Some things to try:
o If lmtpd in that version supports -U, decrease the maximum uses from
250 to, say, 50.
o Increase the number of lockers with Berkely DB (you might configure
your logging to include debug-priority messages)
o Upgrade to a modern version :)
