postfix bug? kernel bug?

Sorry for reposting this (I sent it to fedora-list earlier), but I'm
running out of ideas...

I'm having a weird problem...  I'm trying to set up a mail server for
a client.  It's a dual Opteron box with 4GB RAM running FC2/x86_64.

I'm setting it up with amavisd-new, which requires setting up postfix
to listen on a port (so postfix relays to amavisd which relays to
postfix).  The initial connection to postfix (port 25) is fine.  The
mail is processed by amavisd fine.  When amavisd tries to connect to
postfix again, I get this:

==> /var/log/messages <==
Aug 31 23:33:20 foo kernel: smtpd[1665]: segfault at 00000030bf300e20 rip 00000030bf206294 rsp 0000007fbfffd8b0 error 7

==> /var/log/maillog <==
Aug 31 23:33:20 foo postfix/master[1394]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 1665 killed by signal 11
Aug 31 23:33:20 foo postfix/master[1394]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling

I've tried upgrading and downgrading the kernel to every FC2 errata
kernel-smp, plus I've tried kernel-smp-2.6.8-1.533 from rawhide.  I've
also tried upgrading postfix to 2.1.4-1 from rawhide.  Nothing seems
to change the behavior.

It's entirely possible that I've screwed something up somewhere that
explains all this, but I'm inclined to think not...  I've basically
cloned a working config from another (i386) box.

Any ideas would be very welcome...
