Eventually, after a couple of hours running in the foreground, amavisd sent 
the following to the log:

Aug 11 10:56:14.510 mustang.sdc.com.au /sbin/amavisd[5141]: (05141-20) 
Requesting process rundown after 20 tasks (and 20 sessions)

This would appear to be the reason for the earlier restarts.
Is this something new in amavisd?
I have been running amavisd for many years and have not seen this before +/- 
Fedora 21.
