I was just about to report a similar problem when I came across this
thread.

I'm using the sought rules, SARE, and updates.spamassassin.org on a 64
bit Debian etch system with the spamassassin 3.2.4 packages from
backports.org.  (I'm the Debian SA maintainer.)  We update our rulesets
nightly using sa-update.  The updates that we pulled in at Mon Jun 29
10:27:30 UTC 2009 introduced periodic segfaults.  I suspect that the
problem is being triggered in the sought rules, as their removal made
the segfaults go away.  Beyond that I haven't narrowed things down any
further.

I have a couple of 32 bit etch systems running an otherwise identical
setup that have not seen any segfaults, though their mail volume is
quite a bit lighter.

We're compiling our rules with re2c 0.9.12, FWIW.
