Just a data point: I was seeing this happen intermittently with
Postfix 2.4.5 and MD 2.63 on MacOS 10.4.x in conjunction with the
rather ugly daily housekeeping that includes a 'postfix reload' line.
I never diagnosed the root cause beyond determining that it is fixed
by stopping and restarting MD, with care taken to ALL MD processes
being gone.
