[Mimedefang] Spamassassin+Mimedefang header formatting...

Here's an interesting conundrum:

I have two servers, one running RedHat 9 and the other running SuSE 9.
They both have the same versions of mimedefang (2.43) installed and the
same version of spamassassin (2.55). I have configured the
mimedefang-filter on both systems to attach the SA headers into the
header, both also with Terse Reports set to 1. My output per header per
system is as follows:

Redhat 9

X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=6.7 required=3.8
X-Spam-Level: ******
X-Spam-Flag: YES
X-Spam-Report: ---- Start Filter results
 6.70 hits, 3.8 required;
 *  0.1 -- BODY: Claims you can be removed from the list
 *  0.2 -- BODY: Talks about getting a discount
 *  0.2 -- BODY: Obfuscated 'online' in body
 *  3.0 -- BODY: Links to spamdomain.com
 *  0.0 -- BODY: credit card
 *  0.1 -- BODY: Gives a lame excuse about why you were sent this spam
 *  0.6 -- URI: URL of page called "remove"
 *  0.8 -- URI: Includes a 'remove' email address
 *  0.5 -- 'Message-Id' was added by a relay (3)
 *  1.2 -- Date: is 96 hours or more before Received: date

SuSE 9

X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=6.7 required=3.8
X-Spam-Level: ******
X-Spam-Flag: YES
X-Spam-Report: ---- Start Filter results 6.70 hits, 3.8 required; * 
0.2 -- BODY: Talks about getting a discount *  0.1 -- BODY: Gives a lame
excuse about why you were sent this spam *  3.0 -- BODY: Links to
spamdomain.com *  0.2 -- BODY: Obfuscated 'online' in body *  0.1 --
BODY: Claims you can be removed from the list *  0.0 -- BODY: credit
card *  0.6 -- URI: URL of page called "remove" *  0.8 -- URI: Includes
a 'remove' email address *  0.5 * 'Message-Id' was added by a relay (3)
*  1.2 -- Date: is 96 hours or more before Received: date

So the question is kind of hovering around "WTF?" 

Anybody have any idea as to why there's a formatting difference?

Thx,
