procmail: Out of memory

What's weird is that the
message is so small (only 5744 bytes according to procmail). Do you
only see this error on this recipe, or at random places in your
.procmailrc?
Always at the same place. Yet this recipe simply tests if X-Check is
present, calling an INCLUDERC with Jari's list-detection if not, and
then adding the X-Check with formail. It's not like it is failing on
a complex regexp (though some complex actions may be taking place
within the INCLUDERC'd file).
Giving procmail the -t flag will cause fatal internal errors that are
normally returned as permanent errors to be returned as temporary
failures instead.
So if I add -t to my .forward, the formerly **Bounced** mail will
re-spool for later delivery? This would be OK if the memory problem
is transient.
If it's not so sporadic, then all this does is keep it in the
sendmail queue for the requisite 6 days (or whatever) before it
gives up at the MTA level. And there's no way of me finding out that
this is happening. I was hoping that there was some special DEFAULT
variable or somesuch that specified a mailbox for these permanent
failures. Oh well...
