It appears that the message has a malformed rfc-2231
<http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2231.html> encoded header or some header
with exactly one single quote "'" character that's being misidentified
as an RFC-2231 encoded header.

Beyond that, it would help to see the rest of the traceback to see how
we got here.

Also, can you do either bin/dumpdb or bin/show_qfiles on the shunt
queue entry and perhaps see what the problem with the message is?
