Binary package hint: amavisd-new

The command /etc/init.d/amavis force-reload seems to crash amavis. It works fine in older Ubuntu releases, but in Natty, there seems to be some timing problem:

The message means "Address already in use". It seems as if amavis does not shut down properly before restarting, then the socket cannot be used, and then the old instance dies.
