Probably because one of the lines in it is larger then 4096 bytes? Header parser doesn't really like that. I should get that fixed in 1.0-tests..
Are you talking physical line length, or actual header line length (including continuation lines)? I guess strictly speaking you aren't supposed to see a physical line length of 4096 bytes, but even so, that's a low limit.

(Saw a message the other day with a Cc: header over 93,000 characters long. Yeah, it was spam, but it was still there..)
