At the end of the day this is why I don't use CAPTCHA's on my site, they can be broken by a bot that is smart enough. The better option is to use something to analyse the contents of the spam to decide what it really is, and there are some tools that are really good at doing this. Heck I even found for one form that banning 'http:// (and notifying users with JavaScript if they typed it) stopped 100% of the spam I was getting.
