Actually disregard these comments.... I've been searching some myself
and I can't find anything that lines up with this other than the one you
already found (ie. early troubleshooting steps were looking at file
permissions/etc. ... but in the end reinstalling libgmime is what fixed
it).  A few other segfaults on daemon startup issues were fixed at times
in the past... a little more recently would be this thread:

http://mailman.fastxs.net/pipermail/dbmail-dev/2006-May/008900.html

Is that indicating not setting error_log caused a problem?  (Paul?)  You
might check those settings.  Do you also get a segfault running
"/usr/sbin/dbmail-users -l" manually?
