Never heard back from that guy, so I assumed it was the mysql module.
(No one else has had the problem since.)

One thing to try is to get version 1.9 of milter_module.c from here:

http://pymilter.cvs.sourceforge.net/pymilter/milter/miltermodule.c?view=log

and rebuild milter.so ("python setup.py build" and move into place or adjust
PYTHON_PATH).  If the problem goes away, then that means that more than one
thread was accessing a milter ctx (maybe because of something libmilter does).
I'll document that and revert.
