That's not a valid recipe syntax.
The first thing after a flags line should be either:
A condition, which starts with *
an action - the name of a file to deliver to, or a pipe to a
program to invoke.
an open brace
The log shows:
procmail: Skipped "ack RE: ** PROBLEM alert - OMAJELUT01/telnet is
CRITICAL **"

Dunno about your stack trace stuff - looks like you have a bad compile or
library version incompatability perhaps.
Since a large procmail recipe collection will refer frequently to certain
elements, my standard routine is to extract and manupulate several header
fields right up front, so the content of them is available to all recipes
that follow. Some of those are in the "sandbox" published at my
website. The one which is applicable to you is:
:0
* ^Subject:[ ]*\/[^ ].*
{
SUBJECT=$MATCH
}
(brackets enclose a space+tab)
This obtains the subject with MUCH less overhead than invoking formail to
grab it.
Then, your recipe follows the one above:
:0
| /usr/lib/processmail "${SUBJECT}"
This is probably the better way to accomplish this, since is there is NO
subject, you should still be invoking your processmail program, whereas you
could combine them:
:0
* ^Subject:[ ]*\/[^ ].*
| /usr/lib/processmail "${MATCH}"
However, this form would ONLY invoke processmail when there's something to
match in the Subject header. Most notably, the absence of a Subject:
header entirely would cause this recipe not to invoke the processmail program.
