sendmail/dma processes stuck consuming cpu

[erik]

dma installed, configured to deliver email via smarthost mandrillapp.com
crontab for local user, configured with cronjobs that outputs messages and thus should be delivered to the user, MAILTO="user") like this:

@hourly /usr/bin/task1
@hourly /usr/bin/task2

I get sendmail processes stuck (race condition?) consuming max CPU.
Currently there are two sendmail processes stuck at 48% CPU each for 7 hours. The command is /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -FCronDaemon -oem "user
/usr/sbin/sendmail links to /usr/sbin/dma

dma version is 0.9-1
architecture: amd64

My suspicion is that this is because of some race condition within dma, since both processes seems to be created at the same point in time (same timestamp). attaching strace gives nothing.

Is this a known bug? Are there any workarounds?

I am seeing this too, with the same dma version, architecture and command line, also connecting to mandrillapp. I rebuild my machine daily, and sometimes see this. Did you ever work around this?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
