Update on this issue. I think it might have something to do with the following bug in Red Hat bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91933 It appears to have something to do with some combination of NTPL and errata versions of the kernel, db4 and glibc packages. I've rebooted into the older kernel (2.4.21-20), but that didn't help. I'm using the original db4 (4-4.1.25) from WBEL, and I'm rebuilding glibc-2.3.2-95.20 from source rpm. I'm dreading the thought of forcing an older glibc into place, but I'm hopeful that might fix it. Updates to follow (assuming my server survives the process)...

I hate to disappoint anyone following this thread, but I think I'm going to drop the issue for now and re-migrate back to CentOS. I've found a working replacement for Postgrey in using sqlgrey (http://sqlgrey.sourceforge.net/) that appears to be working quite well (doesn't use db4). I'll continue to follow the issue with earnest, hopefully someone else will be able to offer some final insight. Perhaps I'll take the cause back up on a test system.
