I'm not sure that this is a problem with a specific message.

What version of SpamBayes are you using?  I know that the above string ought
to tell me, but unfortunately the version string wasn't updated a couple of
times.  (Alternatively, if you could try the 1.0.1 release, which will give
the version as 0.5, that will at least confirm that this hasn't already been
fixed).

This is indicating that either the IMAP server's response was not in the
expected format, or something went wrong when SpamBayes tried to extract the
data from the response.  If 1.0.1 doesn't fix the problem, could you run
sb_imapfilter with "-i4", save the IMAP conversation that is output, REMOVE
YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD FROM IT, and then send us a copy of that?  It
will help track down where the problem is, exactly.
