Summary: some spam repeatably crashes sb_filter.py (backtrace)

Initial Comment:
I'm running Python 2.3.1 on Linux, processing my mail
with procmail.  Recently I've been getting spam that
crashes sb_filter.py.  Failure can be repeated from the
command line.  

Seems to affect only mail that SpamAssassin has tagged
as spam.  Repeatable for any message that fails.  I had
this problem starting 2 weeks ago with Source 1.0rc1,
upgraded to Source 1.0rc2 and problem persists. 
Affects ~10% of messages.

(note: no option for Source 1.0rc2 in reporting form)

Backtrace looks looks like this:

We haven't heard from the original reporter of the bug for some
time.  Without the requested information, there really isn't much
we can do.  If anyone does provide further information, please
also change the bug status back to "Open".

I thought that sb_filter handled these ok with 1.0rc2 - is
that definately the version you are using?

If you are able/willing to use Python 2.4, you will stop
having these problems, BTW.
