This is 4.34, which is unfortunately the latest version currently
available in Debian. I am CCing this message to the Debian maintainer
and a bug report I submitted there regarding the segfault.

I can also show you this, which may be of interest:

I've also attached the portion of the debug log relating to the segfault
on the delivery to this recipient.

All I see either place is "Frozen". I do see the sig11 logged. I
didn't know that would cause it to freeze. So that makes sense, I
suppose.

Not the easiest thing on Debian since there isn't a 4.43 packaged, but
if the maintainer doesn't package it, I will try to do that myself.

Anyway, the debug log is attached.
