qmail error trying to send mail: “preline: fatal: child crashed”


I am running Listserv for unix version 15.5 with qmail 1.03 as my mail sender on and have had no issues over the past 4 years or so.

Code:
Server Version info: [root@s15252382 listserv]# uname -a 
Linux REDACTED.com 2.6.18-028stab092.1 #1 SMP Wed Jul 20 19:47:12 MSD 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
So recently, when our listserv administrator attempts to start a new post in listserv by emailing our designated listserv email address: REDACTED@listserv.REDACTED.com, we get a failure notice back. If I reboot the server, it clears things up for a little while, but the problem always returns. Listserv support says it appears to be a server issue.

Code:
From: MAILER-DAEMON@REDACTED.com [mailto:MAILER-DAEMON@REDACTED.com]
Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2011 12:25 PM
To: REDACTED@comcast.net
Subject: failure notice

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at REDACTED.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

REDACTED@listserv.REDACTED.com: preline: fatal: child crashed

--- Below this line is a copy of the message.
Then this is the snippet from the qmail log file at :

The actual email message has no anomalies or anything strange going on. Any ideas on what could be causing this or where I can look? I am a novice Linux admin, so I apologize if I am missing any required upfront info.

Thanks!
