[imp] imapd processes in process state D

[Andrew Stafford]

I have been having an intermittent problem over the past few months that I
cannot seem to find the root cause. Ever so often imapd processes enter a
process state of D and because of that the load on the server sky rockets. I
have to end up killing the processes. I have over the time replaced all the
drives in the raid array on which the mails are stored. Would a mailbox size
over 1GB cause something like this? As there are a few on my sever.
