interesting spam header

I noticed this in my syslog:

Feb 18 20:21:44 cpollock spamd[18615]: spamd: processing message 
<21...@client.comcast.net> for chris:501 
Feb 18 20:21:44 cpollock spamd[18615]: Character in 'C' format wrapped in 
pack at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Util.pm line 711, 
<GEN77> line 53. 
Feb 18 20:21:44 cpollock last message repeated 2 times
Feb 18 20:21:44 cpollock spamd[18615]: Argument "BE" isn't numeric in pack 
at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Util.pm line 711, 
<GEN77> line 53. 

This wen on and on quite a few times, here is the portion of the headers 
that caused it:

It was still tagged with 30 points.  Guess the spammer thought the above 
would make SA hang or something.
