Yes, but that would be very slow because of the huge number of calls to
malloc(), free() and write().

Yes, boot your machine with a 64Bit kernel, download the free Studio 10
compiler(*) from Sun and build "milter-greylist" with that.

There are still possible race conditions.  If you use fclose() which
calls close() the file descriptor is free to be reused.

(*) Check whether it works with Solaris 8 first. If it doesn't build your
    own 64Bit GCC. Or just update to Solaris 10 which is faster anyway
    and comes with a 64Bit GCC.
