It was introduced in release 4.21 but on a different location in the code.
Starting with 4.40 this code fragment is much earlier and and the file
descriptor smtp_out is unset at this time. Writing to it cause the crash
which never happens before 4.40 but now happens frequently (at least on my
servers) so I consider this problem serious. I wrote a bug report to the
list including a workaround patch. I did this without reading all mails
received on this list today as I was busy using my visual debugger...
