Now that the mysterious crash has been understood, a quick follow-up and
explanation of what happened so my two hours wasted on this werent spent
in vain [0]:
Last week, during a short timeframe, smtpd had a few warnings at compile
time that were caused by a missing header. Charles (chl@) fixed this and
we forgot about it.
Sadly, during that short timeframe a snapshot was made and that snapshot
had the code compiled with the missing header. Some functions which were
supposed to return pointers implicitely started to return integers, with
amazing consequences on machines were sizeof int != sizeof pointer ;-)
Stupid bug, check.
