I followed David's advice and straced the multiplexor process. Shortly
after sending David the strace output I received this response from him.

Hi, Peter.
Look at this:
open("/var/log/mimedefang/stats", O_WRONLY|O_APPEND|O_CREAT, 0666) = 7
...
write(7, "28/07/2005:14:06:44 1122584804.0"..., 376) = -1 EFBIG (File
too large)
--- SIGXFSZ (File size limit exceeded) ---

You need to rotate your log files. :-)
The file /var/log/mimedefang.stats has become huge, and the kernel
can't handle it. You either need to upgrade your Linux version to
one that can handle large files, or rotate your stats file periodically
(and don't forget to restart MIMEDefang after rotating it.)
I'd appreciate it if you could summarize my reply to the MIMEDefang list
for the benefit of others.
Regards,
David.
His advice was dead-on. The stats file was over 2GB, and was the reason
for the crashing. After I truncated it, everything worked as before.
Thank you for this great resource!
