repeating lmtpd crashes

We just noticed that lmtpd has been crashing many times per day for several months. It seemed to automatically relaunch each time, but eventually stopped doing that, which is when we discovered the problem. The crash log reports the following, among other things:

Exception: EXC BADACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN PROTECTIONFAILURE (0x0002) at 0x0000001c

We're about to go from 300 mail users to 1,000, but before we do, we'd like to know if the frequency of crashing is likely to increase with increased load. Does anyone have experience with this problem? We're running 10.4.5 on a Mac Mini. Thanks.

Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I'm also seeing the same lmptd crashes 1-8 times per hour on a server which has an even more severe problem where all OD authentication stops working (have to restart) about once/day. I posted in the OD/Auth discussion regarding that issue.

Wondering if the lmtpd crashes are related....???

Need to nail down this problem. Mail was recently migrated to this server and my client is wondering if we made the right move...

In my case, I have this error:
