We're running procmail 3.22 under FreeBSD 4.27.
We appear to have a process leak. It has slowly crept up to 460 processes

Suggestions VERY welcome.
Uhm, the processes are owned by whom (that might give you a clue)? Are all
these 460 processes procmail alone?
Do you use procmail as the LDA? What is your MTA?
Is there an /etc/procmailrc (or /usr/local/etc/procmailrc) ?
How many users have ~.procmailrc or a .forward which perhaps invoked procmail?
What do your system maillogs have to say about messages?
Is mail not being delivered normally - globally, or just to certain users?
What's in your mailqueue?
I could go on and on, but I think _some_ sleuthing on your part would be
appropriate.
