procmail 3.10 eat all my memory

Hi,

I have a curious problem with procmail.
Sometimes it is eating more and more memory leaving
the system with almost no memory (free memory ~ 224 k).

Then I get an error from the kernel "Unable to load interpreter",
i.e. "there is so few memory that even the ld-linux.so (the dynamic
loader)
cannot be loaded in memory, which makes it a bit difficult to run
anything :-("


Pentium 75
16Mg RAM
Redhat 5.2
kernel 2.0.36

Tia
please cc to me since I'm not on the list
