Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: spfmilter
Package: spfmilter
Version: 1.99+0.95
Debian Bug #392927
System: Dapper on amd64
The spfmilter process dies and the sendmail gateway hangs in a wait. A
attached GDB shows the following:
Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
[Switching to Thread 1098918240 (LWP 9663)]

The error is reproducible. A quick look into src/libspf/main.c and here
in function SPF_smtp_from
/*

*
* xfree can be called to attempt to free memory even if its already freed
* but thats no excuse to be abusing it, its there to catch mistakes, not
* to ack as a lazy coder facilitation device
*
* The reason freeing is being attempted is because it appears that people
* have been attempting to call this function multiple times within a
single
* SPF parse, which logically would result in memory leakage because
SPF_close
* isn't being called.
*
* I honestly don't think its safe to be calling this function more than
* once but some users have reported success, I'll have to look into
this...

Maybe this could be the reason, why SIGABORT happens? Maybe the same
error as in Debian Bug #315196 ...
