10.4.4: TMDA -> procmail -> cyrus deliver -> lmtpd -> CRASH

I seem to be having the same unresolved problem as a couple of other posters here and here.

I hope someone can help me with this issue– perhaps someone can at least try duplicating the problem on a 10.4.4 or 10.4.5 system?

Since upgrading to Server 10.4.4 (and 10.4.5 today) I have been completely unable to use procmail to route mail through cyrus/bin/deliver. It appears that lmtpd is crashing. My procmail file is quite simple:

:0 w
| /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -a ironwolf -m user/ironwolf

It is invoked by TMDA when it wants to pass mail to my personal inbox. What ends up happening is deliver invokes lmtpd (through master I expect) and then lmtpd crashes, sending an error back which causes the message to wind up in the postfix deferred queue.

I’m pretty sure neither TMDA nor procmail has anything to do with the problem, because I was able to duplicate the crash from the command line by creating a dummy message and invoking:

$ /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -a ironwolf -m user/ironwolf < testmessage

system.log contains the following:

Feb 17 14:23:10 arc master[1675]: process 1698 exited, signaled to death by 10
Feb 17 14:23:10 arc crashdump[1734]: lmtp crashed
Feb 17 14:23:10 arc crashdump[1734]: crash report written to: /Library/Logs/CrashReported/lmtpd.crash.log

And /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/lmtpd.crash.log contains the following:
