Is there a chance that you might be able to retrieve a stack backtrace
(with gdb) for us so we know where exactly it failed? It doesn't take
long and isn't difficult to do.

I wrote up a tiny howto for my other project, leafnode, here:
<http://leafnode.sourceforge.net/doc_en/FAQ.html#backtrace> - the same
procedure should work for bogofilter: simply read the document,
replace .../sbin/leafnode by .../bin/bogofilter and you should be set.

You may need to install "GDB" first, blastwave.org has ready-made
packages though and an easy-to-use "pkg-get" script.
