On 64bit systems there is a data type (int/size_t mismatch) problem ...
(beside some others). But you stated below, its a 32bit system?
Depending on the traffic volume, milter-greylist crashes after some seconds
rather than minutes, if this issue would responsible for that.

Look at http://jk.kom.tuwien.ac.at/software/milter-greylist/ down to libspf2
(to be find on http://milter-greylist.wikidot.com soon - hope so ;) ).

If this is not related to a the 64bit issue, I suggest to check the
res_ninit-patch anyway. So far I had only problems on Solaris 8/Sparc
systems with the bind8-resolver (but not on Linux FC 6/64bit).

The malloc issue mentioned at my site should only substantial if
memory is getting short ...

Enable core dumping and save some for later analysis :)
