Seg faults in lmtpd in Cyrus 2.3.7 - gdb backtrace

Hello,

I finally have a gdb backtrace of the problem. This happens on the  
frontend (We have a murder setup with virtual domains) when it tries  
to deliver mail via lmtp. But only sometimes. It could go days and not  
have the problem, and when lmtpd DOES start crashing, it'll eventually  
start delivering fine again in 5-10 minutes.

The backtrace:

Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
[New Thread -1208453440 (LWP 28815)]

In case it's important, I'm using the following imapd.conf:

I'm hoping someone can help me out here:)
