Nothing weird here.  My procmail executable even has the same size :-)

If we assume that you did generate your current sendmail.cf from the
source version of freebsd.mc, then this looks a lot like a procmail
ruleset problem.  I'll take another good look at your procmail rules,
but in the mean time can you try with a minimal .procmailrc and see
if this unbreaks it all?

	$ cd
	$ cp .procmailrcA dot.procmailrc~
	$ echo 'DEFAULT="$HOME/Mailbox"' > .procmailrc

If that works, then we are certain that the old rules are broken.
