>From the procmail man page (reformatted for legibility):

  Program failure (nnn) of "x"
    Program  that  was  started by procmail returned nnn instead of
    EXIT_SUCCESS (=0); if nnn is negative,  then this is the signal
    the program died on.

Signal 25 is "SIGXFSZ" or "File size limit exceeded"

The postfix message size limit probably isn't the problem.  That would
govern the size message postfix accepts, but once it's on the system,
you're good.

What happens when you feed the example email into crm from the command
line? How big is/are the message(s)? I'm going to hazard a guess you're
running into a memory (malloc) limitation inside CRM114.

I notice you aren't using the size limiting from the example recipes
in the tarball (Crash? Are they still in there?)
