I don't think procmail has a limit on the number of header lines it
looks at.  I've never had any problems, but then again I always filter
on the "From " header, which is always the first header line in an
email:

:0:
* ^From owner-freebsd-hackers@.*freebsd.org
| ./archive bsdh >> bsdh

Also note that procmail is case-insensitive by default, so in your
setup, line 2 is a duplicate of line 1, and line 3 matches anything
that lines 1 or 2 would match.
