mimedefang, perl, and amd64 trouble

Hi,

(copying wes@, the mimedefang maintainer, just because it might
possibly be his headache.)

I have a brand-new, freshly-cvsupped 7.0 amd64 box as a mail server.
Perl seems to be having troubles; when I fire up mimedefang, it can't
load some dependencies.

ed normally with status 255 (SLAVE DIED UNEXPECTEDLY)

Has anyone seen anything like this on FreeBSD before?  I know that
Wine has had some mmap problems, but I imagine a Perl failure would be
big news here...

Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.
