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:

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.
