No,  I've never seen that and I run it on FreeBSD all the time. This KMail 
pid is 67913 though, so it won't help. I imagine it would be a somewhat rare 
occurrence to get a KMail pid < 1000 on most FreeBSD set ups.

I have seen DCOP errors running KMail from CVS HEAD in a special environment 
while the same user was running KDE 2.2 applications.
