What's most interesting is that I do not recall seeing this patch before. Neither gmane (which is my back-up interface to the mailing list) nor my mailbox seems to have a copy, and from the look of quoted parts (namely, some Russian strings in the message), it is not implausible that my spam filter (either on my receiving end or at the ISP) may have eaten it.

I have not had chance to look at your patch at marc yet, but from the look of your problem description, I presume you could trigger this with any utf-8 b-encoded loooooong subject line?
