I use small script which starts greylist again after crash. I don't know
how to start it automatically again under gdb. Another bad thing is that
sometimes greylist works well for two or three days, sometimes it crashes
twice per day. I think that keep gdb running on my server is not very good
thing for server's resources.

For example here my "crash" log for last days:

Usually i run greylist as smmsp user and from /var/milter-greylist
directory (which is owned by smmsp). But when I got no core with smmsp
user, I started it as "root" but result is still same - no core.

How can I catch it? Any ideas?
