SM suggested compiling with "-g" and running the filter that way, 
hopefully producing a coredump.  Remember that these days you need to 
satisfy certain system requirements to get coredumps:

- process has to have write permission to its current working directory

- process to have no coredump size limit imposed (set this with the shell)

- process must not have changed its userid (i.e. don't use "-u" on the 
command line or "UserID" in the configuration file), OR you must have 
configured your system to dump cores anyway

You can also capture the message which caused it to die by running your 
sendmail MTA with the flag "-d71.100".  When the filter crashes, any 
message(s) in progress will be quarantined and you can get them out of the 
queue manually.  If the message doesn't reveal anything sensitive, you can 
(at your discretion of course) submit it as data about the problem.
