An MTA or MUA that does not handle [] well may indeed cause
problems.  That might range from (multiple) DNS lookups of
garbage, or malformed DNS lookups to a program crash.

How exactly would that happen? I cannot even imagine the chain of bugs  
(which would presumably be libc or resolver bugs, anyway) which would lead  
to that consequence.
