That usually implies something went wrong with a message pipe which I
believe will mean that you ran out of file descriptors.  There are some
settings to be REALLY careful with file descriptors in MD (below) and
someone might be able to give you a hint how to increase the file
descriptors in FreeBSD.  It might be a simple use of the limit or ulimit
command but that's out of my expertise.

	* mimedefang.c: Make more conservative use of file descriptors.
	Added "-C" option to enable ultra-conservative use of file
	descriptors (by closing/reopening files in each callback.)

Regards,
KAM
