spamassassin: spamd crash on hdd overload

[Martin Tomasek]

Package: spamassassin
Version: 3.2.4-1ubuntu1.1
Severity: normal

When I overloaded harddisks, system became almost unresponsive. While
looking through logs I found messages about crashes of spamd -- each logged
as segmentation fault. There can be more causes, but I think that the most
probable cause is full memory.
