Yes, mine does that.  It seems to be load related, and I've put a
watchdog on it:

#!/bin/sh

if [ -f /var/run/relaydelay.pid ]
then
    spid=`cat /var/run/relaydelay.pid`
else
    /usr/local/etc/rc.d/relaydelay.sh start
    exit 0
fi

kill -0 $spid 2>&1 > /dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
    : relaydelay not running, restart
    /usr/local/etc/rc.d/relaydelay.sh start
    mail -s "relaydelay restarted" root < /dev/null 2>&1 > /dev/null
fi

The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedients, and by
parts. -Edmund Burke, statesman and writer (1729-1797)
