I don't have a fix.  I have the same problem under BSD/OS 2.1 but 
not on HP-UX 9.01.

On my BSD/OS machine, the message that causes the problem stays
in the mail queue and keeps getting delivered, giving you a new
core every N minutes.

I looked through the sources a bit and am less than impressed.  It
is really tedious to read.  I was hoping to get some hints, but I
don't have the time to wade through it right now.
