After some more investigation I noticed that this was only happening
when a spam was being redirected to a different address. I was using
the following without the redirect_router line. After I added that line
then things started working fine. I'm wondering if there was some sort
of loop happening and the kernel was killing it off. I didn't see
anything in logs matching that and no paniclog was generated.

spam_redirect_router:
        no_verify
        no_expn
        driver=redirect
        data=spambox@???
        condition = "${if  and { {eq
{${received_protocol}}{spam-scanned} }  { def:header_X-Spam-Flag: } }   
{1}{0} }"
        redirect_router = ourdomains_route
        no_more


ourdomains_route:
    driver = manualroute
    transport = remote_smtp
    route_list = +ourdomains  192.168.0.3
