I don't think it's such a problem. gdb will just sit down quitely until the
kernel tells it that the traced process got a signal.

What you need is a way to detect that the milter crashed. On my system
(NetBSD), ps will report a traced and stoped program by a TX in the flags 
column. Maybe you can tweak your script so that it restarts milter-greylist
when it sees an instance in that state?

We need to know where it happens, and a gdb backtrace will tell us that.
