A bug was fixed at 3.034 that looks like this. ChangeLog says:

Version 3.034
-------------

1. When a header syntax check failed, a humungously long address that was too
much for string_sprintf to fit in the error message caused a panic exit. This
could happen, for example, if a double quote was omitted in a very long list of
addresses in a header. It now reflects just the first 1K of the address. Put a
similar limit on sender addresses in verify failed messages.
