I think that that means that the sender timed out and disconnected while
waiting for spamassassin to complete, before exim had a chance to return
a result code to the end of the data. Presumably 3.2.2 is taking longer
than the previous version used to?

It might be helpful to see the full exigrep for one of those messages,
instead of just a single log line.
