I think that analysis is almost correct.
So, to mitigate the failure expire the
areas to drastically reduce bulletins.
Then, if messages as above remain
pending on 'mqueue/rqueue' delete
them together with their information
files. Don't touch the 'sequence.seq'.
As last chance delete all contents of
mail an restart the JNOS :)

I don't know your or other situations
but from my experience many resources
are spent to reply to the many attacks
to our systems... the jnos is rebooting
more frequently at least  from the last
year... other programs seems to remain
hard rock without any collapse.
