occasional empty spamassassin reports

[Julian Field]

I have added a test into the latest release to catch this so it doesn't
think this is spam, not that that's your problem here. I have not been able
to find the cause of it. Sometimes SpamAssassin seems to generate an empty
report. I suspected it was due to timeout problems, but as you have seen
yourself it's not that.

On another note I have finally been able to reliably reproduce the bug
where SpamAssassin reports that a message is spam, even though its hits <
required-hits. I coded around this in MailScanner some time ago, but have
just posted the bug report to the SA mailing list in the hope someone might
fix it.
