Yes, we cleaned these up manually.

IBM's GPFS on linux, which is a shared disk cluster fs.

No, sorry.. postfix seems to be bouncing when deliver dies from signal
6.:

	postfix/pipe[21066]: 4D76F3B67E: to=<XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX at XXX.XXX>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.3, delays=0/0/0/0.3, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (Command died with signal 6: "/usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver") 

I guess postfix doesn't really have any way of knowing how far the
delivery succeeded, but I'd prefer if postfix would freeze these
instead.
