I also tried to reproduce your problem with Postfix (on a Debian distro) but failed to obtain the error message.
While googling for the error string, I found this link which report the same kind of error when Postfix is used with grsecurity (in 2006):

I barely understand German so I'm not sure it is related to your problem.
