Do this:

1. Start Qmail.
2. Do a "ps", and catalog all the qmail daemons that are running in the
   background.
3. Attach copies of strace to every daemon.  Make sure you have plenty of
   free disk space for logging.
4. Once Qmail crashes, analyze the tail end of your strace dumps.
5. Report back with anything interesting you see in the dumps.
