Very strange.  The log file you sent doesn't indicate anything out of 
the ordinary -- from the logged data, it looks like the remote server 
sends 1922 bytes of the message data, then stops sending.  spamdyke 
times out and disconnects.

Could you send me one of the complete messages that you receive when 
spamdyke is removed?  I suspect this is some kind of obscure race 
condition, triggered by the size and timing of data packets sent by the 
remote server (I fixed a bug like this back in version 3.1.6).  It might 
help to see what the rest of the message looks like and how much data 
there is.

In the meantime, I'll start working on ways to reproduce this.  Thanks 
for reporting it!
