saving attachment crashes xemacs

saving attachment crashes xemacs

[Laura Conrad]

I have a mail message with several attachments which causes xemacs to
crash when I attempt to save the parts.  I would normally say that
this is an xemacs bug, and just send the backtrace to the xemacs people,
but in this case, metamail is having trouble decoding the parts as
well, so there is probably something wrong with the way gnus put the
attachments together as well.  There could be some user error involved
-- that is, it's possible I told gnus that wrong mime type when I did
the attaching.

It's a message from me at work to me at home, in both cases using
relative recent cvs gnusae.  The current one at home is:

        * gnus-art.el (article-de-base64-unreadable): New function.
        (gnus-article-de-base64-unreadable): Bind.
        (gnus-article-make-menu-bar): Menu item.
        * gnus-sum.el (gnus-summary-wash-map): Bind '6' and 'Z'.
        (gnus-summary-make-menu-bar): Menu item.
        * gnus.el: Autoload.

The date of the message was May 2, so the gnus that sent it was
older than that.

The backtrace is:

I can send the mail message to anyone who wants to look at it; it's
601540 bytes, so I don't want to clutter the list.
