*** glibc detected *** procmail: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0805df70 ***

I can reproduce it on etch, but I can't reproduce it on lenny. This is
what I get:

$ echo foobar | procmail $PWD/buggy.procmailrc
procmail: Skipped "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Your system had Linux 2.6.24-1-686 and libc6 2.7-6, and it had the bug.
lenny has Linux 2.6.26 and libc6 2.7-18, and the bug seems to be gone.

On a chroot etch system running a lenny kernel, the bug seems to be
gone as well.

Seems like a kernel bug to me.

I strongly doubt it's a kernel bug, rather a non-deterministic bug in procmail. I've been able to reproduce it on Linux 2.6.30-1-686 with libc6s 2.3.6.ds1-13etch9+b1, 2.7-18 and 2.9-25.
