Looks like if the address is empty probably (""), we query the contacts storage 
with 
an invalid URI.

A bug fix would handle whitespace-only addresses the same as null addresses.

The messaging application used to crash as well from this kind of messages, but 
this
doesn't happend anymore since the latest update of android.

I wrote a quick patch to fix this issue. It trims the address string and checks 
it has 
more than 0 characters. Perhaps a better fix would be to change it to a string 
such as 
"Unknown" but I'll leave that to chstuder decide.

thanks

P.S Now I can backup that spam SMS that has been crashing this app for a week :)
