Wild guess: it's your virus scanner, that is integrated in the perl
process using external libs, trying to extract a .rar file which is
failing spectacularly.

If not: somehow obtain that email that is crashing your MD, make
sure you can reproduce it, then sprinkle your mimedefang-filter with
call like this:

    md_syslog('info', 'About to check phase of the moon...');

... and resubmit, then you'll be able to find out what part of
your filter is crashing.

(or manually run mimedefang.pl inside a properly prepped working
directory, according to specs in mimedefang-protocol(7), within
the perl debugger, and/or within gdb).
