Lockers keeps going higher...

[Derek Chen-Becker]

This morning mail delivery via lmtp was slowing to a crawl. When I look
in the logs, the only unusual thing that I see are the lines:

Jul 13 15:32:13 ssmail lmtpunix[24474]: [ID 366844 local6.info] DBMSG:
27 lockers
Jul 15 00:00:48 ssmail lmtpunix[4411]: [ID 366844 local6.info] DBMSG:
148 lockers
Jul 15 00:10:48 ssmail lmtpunix[22170]: [ID 366844 local6.info] DBMSG:
618 lockers
Jul 15 00:30:49 ssmail lmtpunix[3294]: [ID 366844 local6.info] DBMSG:
680 lockers
Jul 15 08:10:58 ssmail lmtpunix[4002]: [ID 366844 local6.info] DBMSG:
1642 lockers

It just keeps going up and up. Eventually I restarted master and then
things went back down to about 20-25 lockers and my postfix delivery
queue emptied from about 2500 queued messages to 50 in about 3 minutes.
Is this related, or is this just a red herring?

Thanks,

Derek
