I've been running into problems getting amavis-perl to
work on FreeBSD 4.3-S using sendmail with milter support.

FreeBSD seems to be the only OS that has this problem, so
I was wondering if anyone else could possibly shed some
light on the subject for me.

I've gotten amavis installed and working, but it fails on
about 5% of the files that are sent through.  For example,
it will always fail if winzip80.exe (downloaded from
www.winzip.com) is sent as an attachment.  It always seems
to fail on the decompression stage where perl is using the
Zlib module.  Here is the output of a gdb on the perl.core:

#0  0x2823429c in XS_Compress__Zlib__inflateStream_inflate () from 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd/auto/Compress/Zlib/Zlib.so

The developers of amavis believe that this is a problem with
FreeBSD/perl because they can not re-create it on any other
operating system (solaris, linux, etc)... only FreeBSD.

I have tried to get it working on 3 different FreeBSD systems,
one of the developers installed it on a vmware FreeBSD install,
and always came up with the same results.

Any suggestions are welcome.
