[usclug-chat] cyrus-imapd causes hardlock?

Is it possible for cyrus and postfix to cause a hardlock when no other
programs seem to?  1-10 minutes after I start my mail server, the system
hardlocks.  I can record and transcode gigabytes of tv shows, run a web
server, download and upload tons of stuff, and test the system in any
way with no problems.  Windows has no problems.  Yet when I start cyrus,
postfix, and saslauthd, the system indexes the mail for a while, then
dies.  Anyone ever hear of this before?  I don't understand it.  There's
no kernel modules or special syscalls a mail server program runs, right?

This is fedora development (2.90) with kernel 2.6.8-1.541 with latest 
cyrus-imapd, saslauthd, and postfix.  I want to figure out whether I 
should file a bug report, since this almost doesn't make sense...
