This means there's a call to strcpy() where both pointers reference
the same string at different positions.  (Or the analogous thing with
memcpy() but procmail probably doesn't use that.)

Several other applications are crashing on Mavericks for the same
problem, based on a Google search.

The fix is to replace the offending strcpy() with a call to memmove(),
if you can figure out which call is the culprit.

Thanks. 

The old Mountain Lion versions work fine. I put them in /usr/local/bin (rather 
than /usr/bin) and made the appropriate changes to my Postfix configuration 
file and all the .procmailrc files (this is a home server for four family 
members - not a lot of work updating all users :-) ) and I should be good and 
immune from any further Apple changes.
