The system is running out of memory during the startup of perl.
Check your administrative limits, perhaps using this .qmail:
|ulimit -aH ; ulimit -a
|preline /var/qmail/alias/forums.ezmlm/filter.pl
and adjust them in your system startup scripts.
You may also use top (or free, if your system knows that
command) to see how much memory is free. But note that the
output of top is misleading at times and consult your system
administrator on how to interpret these values if in doubt,
and note that the problem is most likely not free memory but
some adminstrative limit in your system startup scripts
or in the shell session used to start qmail.
