Now this is REALLY funny ! Perl 5.8.5 is fine !

I remembered that I've installed also about 7 other modules, unrelated to
mimedefang.

I've installed also p5-Archive-Zip. If this module is installed,
mimedefang-multiplexox gets sig6 during reload. If I uninstall
the module, reload works again.

perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Archive/Zip.pod
perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Archive/Zip.pm
perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Archive/Zip/Tree.pm
perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Archive/Zip/FAQ.pod
perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Archive/Zip/MockFileHandle.pm
perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Archive/Zip/MemberRead.pm
perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Archive/Zip/BufferedFileHandle.pm
perl5/5.8.5/man/man3/Archive::Zip::Tree.3
perl5/5.8.5/man/man3/Archive::Zip.3
perl5/5.8.5/man/man3/Archive::Zip::FAQ.3
perl5/5.8.5/man/man3/Archive::Zip::MemberRead.3

This may explain the problemlems we got on different platforms
with different versions of perl ! I bet that p5-Archive-Zip is
referenced somewhere in Mail-Tools or MIME-Mailtools and that
there is some bug in there ...
