Could you provide me a set of sample messages so that I can check? If you
like, you can mail me privately. I think the root problem is somewhere
message-induced and, if so, it would be very useful to see how it could be
triggered. I already use a large set of "malformed" messages (including a few
gig of truely random data), but none of them trigger the issue :(
