Which still leaves the question of why people see the "hdrtxt" error if
it's not because of this (this was definitely one cause).  If the hdrtxt
attribute is asked for, then the load() is called, load calls
SetSubstance(), which sets hdrtxt.  So it's failing in the load,
somewhere.

Whatever the reason, note that cvs head doesn't have the symptom,
because there is no hdrtxt attribute ever - the Corpus.Message class was
subsumed into the message.Message class, and the hdrtxt stuff was no
longer necessary.  This doesn't mean that the message is fixed (although
it may have been), just that it will show up differently.
