At which point does it die and what was the output up to this point?

Which NetBSD release?
Which version of SA do you use?
Which options do you use for spamd and spamc?
Do you have DNS/RBL tests enabled? Bayes tests?
What happens if you start spamd with -L (local tests only)?

If I understand correctly, it's not always the same message that
triggers this behaviour but some messages are scanned and then it
fails at some unpredictable point?
