Thanks for the tip.
I see there is some info on http://www.sunfreeware.com/notes.html#perl580

Do you think the mixed compiler versions is causing

     mimedefang[11167]:[mail.warning] Could not create
     /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mdefang-3DCA3219-0: Too many open files

error?

The "Too many open files" problem seems to be in the "mimdefang.c" milter.
