Keep in mind that this is quite identical to the stuff I reported about 1-2
months ago : I had a strangely addressed email which made clenaup die with
signal 11 whenever it processed that address.

I guess (really just a wild guess) that it's a freak Berkeley DB error. I
couldn't check if it occured with a more recent implementation.
