I would assume that select() is above any suspicion, otherwise most of
your program would crash. But if milter-greylist memory becomes
corrupted, you can get a crash in any system call, including select().

This is bad news. We will have to discover how you re-entered
conf_retain for a second time. And the first  step is to discover how we
got there.

I'm affraid you will have to grep conf_retain *.c and add this before
each occurence:
    if (GET_CONF())
       mg_log(LOG_WARN, "conf_retain called from %s", __func__); 

There are 18 occurences in the sources. Note that you will laso have to
include "conf.h" in order to get it building.
