There's a big long thread on debian-devel about trying to get
SpamAssassin 3.0.0 into sarge (which is not going to happen,
FWIW).

There's a lot of grumbling about our API change without bumping the
soname (which of course doesn't exist in perl...). People think we
should have provided backward compatibility, somehow. There's even
some absurd claims that spamassassin 3 breaks exim 4.

However, among the topics discussed include a large number of
developers claiming that SpamAssassin essentially crashed their system
by using up way too much memory. jm, quinlan, I suspect you may be
interested in these reports. I've linked them below:

Tollef Fog Heen reports some pretty hefty memory usage here:

The thread's pretty much dead, but if we could gain anything from it,
that'd be good.
