Is procmail running from Postfix (or some other MTA)? I've hit this problem where Postfix has set a filesize ulimit, which all the scripts spawned from Postfix will inherit. 

In my case, I had a script that was hitting the filesize limit trying to log it's results to a logfile that doesn't get rotated. I imagine the same thing could happen with procmail, if postfix was calling it.
