Boot hangs starting postfix

I've spent the last couple of days trying to track this down.  It turns out
it didn't always
hang at the same point every time.  So I did
# chmod -x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*
and then tried running each thing individually and it seems that postfix is
indeed the culprit.
I've had some occasions where it will run for a while before hanging, and
others where
it hangs pretty much as soon as it starts.  The logfile doesn't give me any
telling info that
I can see.
