The body nonterminal is a char *. With a mid-rule action on the TEXT alternative, Bison does not apply the default "$$ = $1", so $$ was left uninitialized. The empty alternative had no action at all.

RFC 5322 folded headers such as

  X-Spam-Report:
                *  0.7 ...

parse as (empty body) followed by one or more WRAP tokens. Using the garbage $$ from the empty production as $1 in "body WRAP" then crashes in strlen/printf on architectures where the stack is not coincidentally zero (observed on RISC-V; often masked on x86).

Set $$ = NULL for an empty body and $$ = $1 for TEXT, and guard the WRAP concatenation against NULL the same way.
