Thanks. The problem is occuring on a production system that processes several
thousand emails per day. I hadn't expected to be spending several days looking
into this problem, nor had I envisioned setting up a test platform. I am
getting several hundred failures per day.

I agree, but I am also sure that I can write a piece of perl that causes a
segmentation fault and that would not neccessary indicate a perl bug.

What I would like to do is continue on with comment #4 so that we can identify
where the crash is occuring.
