Likely none, depending on your configuration. The kernel fix will
allow all the spamd/spamc localhost tests to pass, which is required
for a production-quality release.

Until the fix is out, you will not (successfully) connect to spamd via
localhost (127.0.0.1) but will have to specify the "-A ip.add.re.ss"
option to spamd when you run it. This is usually no big deal if you're
configuring SA by hand. The testing department tells me that we've got
another two weeks at least before this fix is out, but anyone is free
to do the forced installation:

  # perl -MCPAN -e shell
  cpan> force install Mail::SpamAssassin

It should build cleanly, test about 50% bad, and install cleanly.
