After increasing $max_servers = 5; from the default of 2 (and of
course setting maxproc to match) I could repro this on Natty daily
build (3/18/2010 I think). I could not repro on Maverick 10.10. I
would try it on Debian unstable, but for some reason my laptop has
never been able to run Debian 64-bit:

Mar 19 07:03:52 sfa amavis[3562]: (!)Net::Server: 2011/03/19-07:03:52
Can't connect to TCP port 10024 on 127.0.0.1 [Address already in
use]\n  at line 88 in file /usr/share/perl5/Net/Server/Proto/TCP.pm

I used this script on a 64-bit test machine and pushed about 500 spam
messages at it and it failed a couple times in a 20 minute period:

#!/bin/sh
while [ 1 ]
do
 /etc/init.d/amavis force-reload; sleep 8; ps aux | grep
amavisd;postfix flush;sleep 51
done

Also, when installing amavisd-new, this error appears. I do not know
if it's related to the issue or not:

Setting up amavisd-new (1:2.6.4-1ubuntu6) ...
Creating/updating amavis user account...
dpkg: error: version 'configure' has bad syntax: version number does
not start with digit
Starting amavisd: amavisd-new.
