Some feedback to that problem: I've installed the patch [1] from
Jose-Marcio Martins da Cruz published in Debian bug report #527862 [2]
and got no further libmilter crashes since then. 

I built a patched libmilter debian/lenny package [3]. The patch is
tested on a quite busy live system for about three weeks. Use this
packages until the debian package maintainer finds the time to fix it.
The patch is known to debian maintainer for more than 9 months.

Ciao,
Marcus
