I'm not too deep into the x-face standard, but I must say, this
looks not like a correct X-Face header. As far as I understand it,
there should be only us-ascii headers, so this header is corrupt.

For me slrn does not freeze, but I don't have the display of X-faces
headers turned on.

When I take a look at the headers from within slrn it shows me this
line as

| X-Face: /#02M#7?aBv8;\1p(MfZIgg5-R^.<T%UtJ6@tef|[6ey^X<u@^;8.e$<i*fEQyPiaahnMV

but when I'm piping the article to 'less' it looks like you wrote.

Do you use slrnface? Does slrn also crash when not using slrnface? I
think the problem might be slrnface.

Cheers,

 Thomas
