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.
