Can you compile bogofilter with -O -g flags (with gcc) or just -g (when
using a different compiler than gcc), and try to obtain a stack
backtrace when it hangs? (For GDB, find the process ID and type "gdb
bogofilter 12345" (where 12345 is the process ID), then "backtrace",
then "detach", then "quit".) Then show us the backtrace. In my cases,
whenever it hung on Linux, it hung while reading input, which makes me
wonder if the pipe writer in your code is working properly, or if the
Linux libraries are right.
