/path/to/smtpd : bad command startup -- throttling

Hello,

  I got the following error in my mail.log:

Nov 29 01:05:41 {nostname} postfix/master[724]: warning:
/usr/local/apps/postfix-2.1.4/sbin/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling

I've seen the various discussions about this error in the archives, but
all of them deal with the error showing up *many times*. I had this
error only once AND over a week ago. Furthermore, it is the first time
I've ever gotten it and the mail server has been running for 142 days
with the same loads.

Any idea what would cause this one-time deal?

Thanks.

David
