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

You're bound to get tons of answers to this, but let me give you two
of the obvious ones to save the really procmailsavvy people the 
effort:

1. Get more memory! 64 MB won't cost but a few dollars these days.
I don't know what processing big attachments or some such will do
to a machine with only 16 MB but I can only assume it won't be pretty...
;)

2. Upgrade to Procmail 3.13
