And yet there was a big fix for 1.3 which involved avoiding use of
free'd memory, right? :)

Looks plausible; I'm still thinking 

  my ( undef, $string ) = $line =~ /(^|\n)$field: ?(.*)$/

:) [my diehard Perl nature is showing]

Note, the field may not have a space after the colon (violates spec,
as far as I recall) and the field may also be wrapped to the next line
per RFC whichever-one-defines-message-formats (821?)

Might be better when building the string object in the Spamassassin
object to parse it into individual headers there and then, which can
be stored in a list, or better still a hash indexed with the header
name.

Cheers,
Waider.
