If seems to me that you have some problems with your qmail
installation,
maybe by the patch. The files in the directories
/var/spool/qmailscan/tmp
and ../working are from old mails and they will lay there
until you purge
it (always with qmail off to avoid deleting a still
processing mail). The
problem with qmail-queue and dying parent process come from
elsewhere.

Try increasing softlimit.

Good luck

The files I have deleted but even the first error message
had nothing
to do with that. It was really just the absence of
qmail-todo that
triggered it.

Thanks. I don't know for sure that this problem did never
occur without
the patch. I might just never have realised. However, I'll
try
increasing the softlimit and see if that gets me rid of it.

Cheers,
Christian
