Subject: HTML attachment causes core dump

i'm using pine 4.21 on an openBSD machine. I frequently get spams with
large html attachments. Like a good boy I forward these off to the abuse
contact at the spambag's isp. Lately though I've recieved spam that caused
pine to core dump when i try to forward it off. Here's a link to such
offending spam (i've recieved several others but have since deleted them):
http://www.divisionbyzero.com/spam

and here's the accompanying core dump:
http://www.divisionbyzero.com/pine.core

any ideas what is causing this?

This is a bug that occurs when trying to forward a message that contains
particular types of MIME attachments.  I don't know what particularly
caused the crash in this case.  However, the bug will be fixed in the next
version of pine, and I've attached a patch that should fix it.
