varied, from 5.4 to 9.0.
This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 4 (v5.14.4) built for i386-freebsd-64int
(downloaded/built from ports collection on July 10, 2013)
>Description:
Versions of SpamAssassin prior to 3.4 crash with Perl 5.14.*, or at least the most recent version in the ports collection (3.3.2 downloaded on July 10, 2013).

(I am not the only one who experienced it after the Perl upgrade, google it for many reports).

According to this bug 6745, this issue has been fixed in 3.4.
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6745

A a few examples of the log messages
(from /var/log/maillog) of how SpamAssassin crashes:
/var/log/maillog.1.bz2:Aug  6 18:11:30 <mail.err> trantor spamd[78473]:
Out of memory during ridiculously large request at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14/Mail/SpamAssassin/Logger.pm line 239.

/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14/Mail/SpamAssassin/Logger.pm line 239.

>How-To-Repeat:

Due to the large volume of e-mail messages I was not able to catch the offending message.

>Fix:
According to SpamAssassin Forum, ver. 3.4  fixes the problem.
I have not checked that myself.

I hope that either this fix can be applied to the current 3.3.* version in ports (preferred), or the new version can be ported.
