Summary: New email pkg FeedParser croaks on some spam

Initial Comment:
After cvs up today, the Spambayes sb_filter.py app
croaks on the attached spam (spam10).  I suspect
it's got something to do with the new FeedParser
in the email package.

Running 'sb_filter.py spam10' I get this traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Actually, I won't add a test case for this one -- it'll
happens because of the 8092 byte blocking factor of
Parser.parse().

That's exactly the right fix -- I have the same one waiting
to be checked in, but I've been trying to boil down the
example so I can add it to the test suite.

After looking at the source, this error seems to be pretty
shallow.  Attached is FeedParser.diff, which seems to 
fix the problem.
