 It seems like sa-exim misses or does not insert proper line endings when
 adding its header line.

OK, but naturally it's difficult to pinpoint a bug that manifests itself that 
sporadically.

Is it always the Subject field that misses the newline? Never the X-Spam-* 
fields?

Is [warszawa] the entire contents of the original Subject field? Is it always 
just the newline that disappears?

Actually, the only way I can see that this bug can happen, is if line 442: 
*header=string_sprintf(%s\n, *header); were mysteriously skipped. If memory 
allocation fails Exim panics and dies, which would cause the mail to be 
deferred.
