I suspect that it's not an issue specific to Perl 5.8.4.
I still suspect RedHat, somehow (currently using 7.3). I tried 5.8.2 with the same result. I also matched as closely as I could, being non-FreeBSD, the config_args posted on perl.cpan.testers - same results.
As an interim measure, could you please try commenting out the IO::File->new('<&=3')->close() line (line 299) in Courier/Filter.pm, and inserting the following two lines instead?
open(FD3, '<&=3') or die("Couldn't open file descriptor #3: $!"); close(FD3);
Nope. Same result, except the line number of the error changes to 300...
