Re: local_scan is crashing on big messages

Okay, I've upgraded to Exim 4.34, still with SA-Exim 4.0 compiled in, 
still running against SpamAssassin 2.63.

When I send a large message to myself (I tried a 3.4MB file 
attachment), local_scan still crashes.  I ran exim with the -d option, 
sent the large message, and captured the debug output.  It's too long 
to copy here, so I put the whole thing on my web server at 
'http://www.enchanter.net/eximdebug.txt', but here's the relevant 
excerpt:

28653 calling local_scan(); timeout=300
28653 LOG: MAIN REJECT

Mac OS X doesn't have strace, but it does have ktrace, which is similar:

# ktrace -p `cat /var/spool/exim/exim-daemon.pid` -d

(at this point I sent the test message, then turned tracing off and 
looked at the log)

# ktrace -C
# kdump -f ktrace.out

The mainlog only logs that one "local_scan() function crashed" line, 
but I found out that rejectlog logs more, though it's not particularly 
useful:
