Since I've recently upgraded to the latest MailBox, to take advantage
of the reduced memory usage, I've been receieving alot of emails that
wedge my delivery agent.
It appears that some portion of the MIME parser is broken such that a
Content-type header with a space after the "boundary" element causes
the process to wedge with 100% cpu usage.
Here is an example:
Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary="--whatever"
(there is a space after the final quote)
I can't get a stack trace because Mail::Box overwrites my signal handler
(is this really neccessary?) but I will look into the code this weekend...
