[Mailman-Users] URGENT: Something in message is breaking mailman!

[Kambiz Aghaiepour]

We are running mailman-2.0.1 under Red Hat Linux 6.2.  Python is version
1.5.2.  For some reason that I can't figure the following message is
breaking qrunner and if ever such a message should end up in the qfiles
directory, ALL list processing comes to a stand still (why?!!).  It
would be nice if mailman would file "bad" messages that cause problems
into a different directory for future examination.  Anyhow, please
excuse the .tgz attachment (gzip compressed tar file containing a .msg
and a .db file).  Additionally, I have attached the error file from
~mailman/logs.  Something odd is going on in multipart.py and I don't
know python at all so I was hoping someone on the list can figure out
what's going on.  Maybe you can somehow reproduce the problem.  Thanks
for your attention.
