thanks

In this report, the submitter says that some messages make procmail to crash.
He also says to be using spamassassin, so I've performed some tests
today with the test message provided by the submitter using this as
the .procmailrc:

:0 fhbw
| spamassassin

:0:
mbox

and then feeding the test message in this way:

procmail < test-message

I did not manage to make procmail to crash, but using top I have seen
*spamassassin* to use very large amounts of memory (more than the
512MB I have) and finally crash. (Note: Deactivating swap helps :-)

I don't know if procmail has a bug, but the problem in spamassassin
seems a lot worse.

You will find a test message in the third message for this report, i.e.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


Regarding procmail, I need help to determine what's exactly wrong in it,
if any.
