I don't feel like debugging a non-deterministic problem that causes the
same mail to be rejected at first but then processed given sufficient
retries. Barring genuine UM Linux bugs (FPU register saving or context
switching perhaps), this looks like hardware trouble, too aggressive RAM
timings, defective RAM, insufficient CPU or North Bridge cooling or
similar.

Please try to reproduce the problem on different hardware, if that
doesn't help, please try without UM.
