Received offending message via private mail. Tested against
Perl 5.6.1 and Perl 5.8.0 on linux and recevied no errors.
Segfaults typically mean a problem with perl itself.

Summary: segfaults trying to parse a mbox
Original Submission: that's about it. I tried to run it in perldb, but got no
extra info :(
the mbox is rather large (11MiB compressed), you can download it from
http://grulic.org.ar/~john/grulic.mbox.gz (it can be very slow during the local
daytime)

Offending mail message has not been attached. Could you
sending me, earl(_at_)earlhood(_dot_)com, the offending message gzipped
up in order to avoid any MTA munging.

perl version 5.008, as per debian unstable.
it's not a memory problem: I have 640MB of RAM and mhonarc is using less than
5% of that when it dies.
I waded through the mbox and the attached mail is the one that triggers the
segfault.

I ran the latest CVS version of MHonArc on the mailbox and
no crashes happened. My guess is it could be an available
memory option. Try using the -savemem option. If that
does not work, trying splitting up the mailbox into
smaller ones, and then process each one separately using
the -add option after the first one.
Also, check your version of Perl. I've just updated
the bug submission form to require that the version of
Perl be supplied (the gnu folks have added the ability
to define custom input fields, yeah).
Unless some new information is provided that indicates
the problem is not memory related, I will close this bug.
