 |Maybe I can help you if you would give us some more information:

Fortunately :-) I could reproduce the problem.
The error was caused because memory could not be allocated for a
buffer to read too large message.  You will be able to reduce the
consumption of memory with enclosed patch for mimekit/mime.c (or
the patched file temporarily placed at
ftp://ftp.etl.go.jp/pub/DeleGate/tmp/mime.c).
Replace the mime.c, remove lib/libmimekit.a if it exists, and do
make.
