dmesg only show a lot of sefault for qmail-smtpd process (tcpserver 
looping after authentication)

I have already tested by copying the auth.cdb file from my old server,   
but I was not successful .. the same problem occurs, that is, qmail-smtp 
continues to fall after authentication.

The authentication seems to work because when i enter an incorrect 
password it writes to the log and shows "user or password incorrect" but 
when  pass the correct password, then qmail-smtp down with segfault.

The qmail-smtp process itself is also OK.. when i remove the 
authentication requirement, it works normally as well.


I think I'm going to give up this patch because it's very complicated to 
solve (I thought about using it because I already use it in other 
installations successfully), but as it's getting complicated I'm going 
to get another temporary solution (pbs, esmtp or something)

In fact, not intending to continue with qmail for a long time * (we will 
migrate to a cloud solution soon) I just need to upgrade this server to 
the latest hardware and OS, just to gain some extra time from some months.
And, honestly, I do not intend to dedicate myself for now in another 
solution, since we will soon migrate to a cloud solution (no time for 
new adventures)
