Scheduler is the culprit. I built zmailer at work today (logs above)
and started each component individually like you said. Not until
scheduler started did the disk i/o start going to town.

Now, a bit more history... I have both ndbm and gdbm installed. gdbm
is in /usr/local/... and ndbm is in /usr/... While running the
configuration script, it finds ndbm, but not gdbm. If I "make" zmailer
like this, the make will puke out with an error, something to do with
ndbm. So, I copy gdbm.h to /usr/include, and the three gdbm libs to
/usr/lib, _and_ rename ndbm.h out of the way for the moment, it
configures and bulds okay.
