Do you have any idea ?
My current idea is using local delivery without procmail and seeing,
whether this works with large mail boxes.

You could also just try making big files from your shell.  If the
problem is with the filesystem or kernel, then /bin/bash should run
into it as thoroughly as procmail.

Try to make a 50MB file with something like:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/spool/mail/testfile50MB bs=1024 count=50000

and see if it completes without errors.
