Problems after upgrading from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 via CPAN

[Greg Earle]

I just upgraded my Testbed SA installation (on a Solaris 8 system with
Perl 5.8.5) from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 and am having problems that didn't
exist in 3.0.1.  Running "spamassassin -D --lint < /dev/null" reveals:
testbed:1:50 [/] # spamassassin -D --lint < /dev/null
debug: SpamAssassin version 3.0.2

Questions:
(1) Do the descriptions all have to be reduced to under 50 characters,
    or is this just an informational diagnostic?  (Yes, I am aware
    from reading the list that this 50 character restriction is a
    new-in-3.0-ism and that I probably have unedited 2.63 rulesets)
(2) (a) Most importantly, since it seems to be fatal - how can I find
                out what file is being complained about ("Search pattern not
        terminated at (eval 60) line 376.")?
    (b) Also, is there any dbg() statement I can add to
                PerMsgStatus.pm::do_meta_tests() to help determine where this
                problem is occurring?
Thanks,
