We are currently having this problem at our site as well.  We
are running Elm V2.3 PL9 on a Sun 4/490 with SunOS 4.1.

I'm currently looking at the problem, but as of yet, have found nothing
significant.  However, it seems that elm has a problem dealing with
long header files (I can send a copy of a bad message if need be, it's
like yours: long header, etc) and the subsequently long bodies.

If I find anything interesting, I'll post.  Will also be looking
for advice from others.
