I too have seen this "softdep_lock: locking against myself" panic on a Postfix
server. I was able to trigger it I think maybe twice by issuing a 'postfix
flush' command. :-/ This _was_ some months ago, when there was the odd commit
to the softupdates code going in, which suggests it's kind of a long standing
bug. :-(
(yes I know this isn't particularly useful -- I'm just trying to say "ME
TOO!!!" in a quasi-intelligent way. :-) )
