Summary:                    mail sending process sometimes gets killed by bacula
timeout
Description: 
Sometimes, when there are lots of clients being backed up (in my case about a
100), bacula kills some some of the mail processes it spawns (in my case, about
5-20). 

The error looks like:
2011-03-21 02:48:48.936755500 21-Mar 02:48  Message delivery ERROR: Mail program
terminated in error.
2011-03-21 02:48:48.936756500 CMD=/usr/bin/mail -s "Bacula: Backup OK of
forum-fd Incremental" root@localhost
2011-03-21 02:48:48.936757500 ERR=800000f:Child died from signal 15: Termination

repeated 5-20 times for different clients.

The I/O load at the server is somewhat higher when that happens, but not
enormously (loadavg of about 5-6). It happens with bacula bsmtp, as well as
debian squeeze /usr/bin/mail.

I think I've traced it to 120 second timeout in open_mail_pipe(), but even
increasing it to 600 seconds does not seem to help, so it might be some kind of
deadlock when many parallel mail clients are spawned at near same time).

Steps to Reproduce: 
have many clients run (and probably finish) at about the same time, and watch
the stdout output of bacula-director (it does not seem to be logged to bacula
log file)

Additional Information: 
exact bacula version is 5.0.3 with git Branch-5.0 as of 20110301
