corrupted/short PDF attachments

--=-=-=
Content-Type: text/plain


A number of times, but not AFAIK, universally, when I file attach PDFs, the
resulting attachment is one byte short.   The copy in my outbox is wrong,
and look at this, even mhstore has a problem:

dyas-[/var/tmp](3.3.8) mcr 10144 %mhstore +outgoing 165
storing message 165 part 1.1 as file 165.1.1.txt
mhstore: premature ending (bitno 0) near ZgoyMjMyNDMKJSVFT0YK
storing message 165 part 2 as file 165.2.pgp-signature

well, I was going to show the file before and after, but it seems I can't
easily do that.  I saw this 1-2 times in the last month.  I don't attach a
lot of files, so it could be 100% of the time.

obiwan-[life/taxes/2023](3.3.8) mcr 10202 %ls -l 2023MichaelRichardson-NOA.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 mcr rvm 223638 Apr  1  2024 2023MichaelRichardson-NOA.pdf

That was the file.  Yes, info for my banker.
It's not an odd number of bytes.
It *is* a multiple of three (which matters to base64)

Maybe there an interaction with GnuPG signing, and I'll investigate this next.

I am running with my patch to sbr/m_getfld.c:
   commit 7b0091cfa1f88dfbcef75106d60ac9269f9f7d83 (HEAD -> missing-zero-bytes-read, savannah/missing-zero-bytes-read)
I'm not sure if it got merged yet, I think not. I'll rebase it.

I'm posting as a FYI.
