How does the most recent trunk work?  I've checked in in mm-util.el
in order to make `mm-string-to-multibyte' be an alias to `identity'
in (S)XEmacs.  mm-decode.el 7.47 uses it while 7.46 used
`mm-string-as-multibyte', which breaks binary data in Emacs 23.
Though I'm not quite sure (because I cannot reproduce the problem
with (S)XEmacs), the most recent change in mm-util.el at least makes
XEmacs work fast and may possibly solve the problem.
