Ok guys, it happend again just right now. Exactly same behavier as 
described befor, but after few days successfully running.

I restarted a cyrus and sendmail and attached strace to the lmpd this 
time. After some time (squatter was still working) it goes to take 100% 
cpu and doenst answer. Hangs.
