We did not actually log the return code when we experienced this
problem, so I'm not sure if you are experiencing the same problem.

It's worth a shot to run RPC mode with MaxServers 0 to see if the
problem no longer happens.  We had troubles with PGP, Sendmail and
Verisign all at the same time and from what Orko has said those problems
went away on his system with the changes Mike came up with, it's worth a
try.
