Hm, that looks like good news and bad news.

The bad news is that there's probably a memory leak
somewhere.

The good news is that it'll be fixable.

Given that this doesn't seem to be causing anyone else problems, I suspect
this is a Perl issue, not an issue with spf-milter. Is anyone else
processing this volume of mail?

The other good news is that the libspf* projects should
produce pure-C milters soon, as well as patches to the
sendmail code directly, either of which will be good
alternatives to the perl milter.

I did see a C version of "spfmilter" but it appears to be lacking some
features and has a memory leak :-(.
