I don't get any malloc errors on my system.  I have, however, intermittent
problems with daemonic not being able to start it.

Here's the list of supported databases on my system (yours are probably the
same):

% postconf -m
static
pcre
regexp
environ
proxy
btree
netinfo
unix
hash

And here's the default:

% postconf -d | grep database
alias_database = netinfo:/aliases
default_database_type = db

This is the problem:  the default, as set at build time, isn't supported.
It looks like you can override this by setting

default_database_type = hash

(for example), in /sw/etc/postfix/main.cf
