postfix panics on bad file descriptor

Since an update today I get the following on my system logs

Code: Select all

Jan 13 17:20:16 whiskey postfix/postfix-script[2583]: starting the Postfix mail system
Jan 13 17:20:16 whiskey postfix/master[2587]: daemon started -- version 3.3.1, configuration /etc/postfix
Jan 13 17:20:16 whiskey postfix/master[2587]: panic: event_loop: bad file descriptor: 1937007477
The postfix server crashes and I am without an e-mail server. I have not changed the config files. I only found one similar post in the German subsection of this forum in 2008 with no answer.

Recompiled postifx, couldn't this time with distcc, had to add FEATURES="-distcc-pump" and now postfix is working. I think something was broken with libpostfix-util.so with a bad reference to fcntl64 (that's why the bad file descriptor error). But I won't go looking for what was broken. It seems to be working now.
