In fact a simple spamd restart has helped (scanning the message 150
times did not return an error). So it might well have been a memory
corruption. All the more that the hash entry data structure which
tripped spamd looked very broken to me:


(gdb) p entry
$1 = (HE *) 0x1f1fa00
(gdb) p *entry
$2 = {hent_next = 0x1, hent_hek = 0x38e8fd3a1, he_valu = {hent_val =
0x100898ce2, hent_refcount = 4303981794}}

I guess this bug should be closed as unreproducible.
