We have found 2 types of messages that choke 6.0.1: very large
messages, and messages with broken/invalid MIME in headers. We see a
line like the following in spool/tmp/*.stdout:
UTF-16:Unrecognised BOM 5000 at
/ucd/pkg/perl-5.10.1/lib/site_perl/5.10.1/MIME/Charset.pm line 697.

From the changelog it looks like the MIME issue is fixed in later
releases.

There was a comment by David Verdin earlier in this thread that "any
version prior to 6.1.3 can have such a weird problem when a too big
message is refused". I can't find anything in the changelog for 6.1.3
that matches up with that statement though.

We're hoping that upgrading will solve all of our crashes. It's on my
todo list.
