OK, I've been seeing this munging of the From line in messages a lot 

This is a procmail bug.  It's most often triggered when a filter writes to
both stdout and stderr.  It's got something to do with the way procmail
seeks on its temp copy of the input stream when the filter exits nonzero,
but nobody has been able to come up with a minimal way to reproduce it.

I am able to reproduce it in Procmail v3.21 (FreeBSD 4.x) with this:

    :0 fw
    | nonexistent_program

The same recipe does NOT trigger the bug in v3.22.
