Although I'm not absolutely certain, the systems on which I had this
problem were not multi-processor, they were just plain-old workstations in
a university computer lab.  At the time (7.0 beta) I had attributed this
problem to the possibly supicious nature of the /tmp partition, since Marc
didn't have any such problems with his Solaris boxes.

After reading Pete Forman's anecdote I looked around some more and found
this:

       Workaround: from now on, Postfix on Solaris uses stream       pipes instead of UNIX-domain sockets. Despite
workarounds,      the latter were causing more trouble than anything else on       all systems combined.
 


There are also some reports that indicate problems in this direction at
http://www.landfield.com/faqs/usenet/software/inn-faq/part2/.


Conclusion: Don't use it.
