mailscanner 3.15-3 proc dies without error/warning - tied to mailman? - POSSIBLE SOLUTION

[Julian Field]

This sounds as if it is very closely related to a Perl bug I hit in this
function when I wrote it. There is a limited stack size for
parsing/executing regexps in Perl, and I exceeded it from the looks of it.

Basically the program would always bomb out if I did s/foo/bar/i and would
work fine if I did s/foo/bar.
Go figure! :-(
