Segfault

[Charles Lacroix]

Yeah latest version rocks :)

I was with an old version and got a problem with some docx attachement, 
and it would
just fill up my memory. I updated to last version and it took like 36sec 
( 6 times the default 6 seconds queue scan )
for the message to hit the max attempts and be redirected to quarantine. 

Its probably the best feature ever :)

thanks
