I had exactly the same error, also on a 64-bit machine (CentOS 5, AMD
Phenom 9550) - see this thread:

http://lists.mailscanner.info/pipermail/mailscanner/2008-June/085202.html

If your symptoms match mine - see the detailed description in that
thread- then the same workaround might get you going again: I
temporarily disabled scanning (Scan Messages = no in MailScanner.conf)
which cleared the queue (but of course let a load of spam through),
then re-enabled it. It seems that a particular message tripped up
MailScanner. As you'll see from that thread, the cause is currently
unresolved, I'll post back if it happens again & I catch the offending
message in the hold queue.

Good luck,

Dave
