I found the "< 256000".  I remerged procmail this morning thinking that
could possibly fix the problem, and I thought I told etc-update to
delete the default /etc/procmailrc file, but I guess I accidentally said
"Replace" instead.  I got this out of the backups and copied it over the
replacement /etc/procmailrc:

bullet ~ # cat /etc/procmailrc
# Use mbox-style mailbox in /var/spool/mail
DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME

DROPPRIVS=yes
#Uncomment the following lines to allow for logging
#
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail
VERBOSE=ON

:0fw
# The following line tells Procmail to send messages to Spamassassin
only if they are less thatn 256000 bytes. Most spam falls well below
this size and a larger size could seriously affect performance.)
* < 256000

| /usr/bin/spamassassin -P

:0e
{
EXITCODE=$?
}
