Well, Terry might be correct, but in this case I doubt it. This crash is identical to what I was seeing on both of my newsservers under 2.x. (I think David Rivers is seeing the same thing). I reported it to hackers numerous times, and John D. finally took a look at it one time, and I don't recall exactly what was wrong, but there were some boundary cases or somesuch that weren't being handled properly. Then he was going to make a patch up for it, but I never saw it, or perhaps it was integrated into -current, and never backported. In the mean time, my solution was to upgrade to 3.x and 'voila, no more crashes. So I would upgrade to 3.x, and see if it goes away. If it survives make worlds and such (and the problem isn't symptomatic of bad memory that I can see), then I would lean towards this solution.
