One additional piece, the bounce processor sits at a small
amount of memory until the file with matching pid hits 1.5GB
or so and then starts climbing fast.

If I kill the bounce processor, the file is abandoned., If I stop
the mailman service, the bounce processor keeps running
and eating memory. If allowed to run unchecked, it will just
eat all the memory in the system.

I cannot kill the bounce process without another starting,
even after stopping the mailman service.

If I freshly re-boot the server and let mailman run for a few
minutes, the the file grows, when I stop the service the file
shrinks back to 0 bytes, but does not get deleted.

I hope this helps.
