I found a couple of bad files at home. One is 1mb, the other 17mb. I
use 21.4.1 on Linux (FC6) there. There are definite good lines
interspersed in between the junk. And often the good lines do not
start at the beginning of a line--I had to search for common pathnames
to find them.
Interestingly, some of the junk is from my +inbox (I use MH-E 8.0.3)
and sometimes the good lines near the +inbox junk are pathnames in my
inbox directory. Other times it's just binary junk.
