FW: Freeze in perl script after cygwin upgrade 1.5.17 -> 1.5.18

  Offended!?  Hell, the great thing about unsolicited strace outputs is that
if the original owner hasn't reclaimed them after 6 months, you get to keep
them, and you don't even have to pay for them!

 ... you are from AOL and recognize that YA superfluous "me too" is probably
as much of a contribution as you'll ever be able to make to the overall
wealth of human knowledge and culture ...

OTOH, by sending strace output, you can bask in the knowledge that
you've done "something technical" and, so, therefore, are actually
helping in a constructive way rather than just complaining.

You'll be even more helpful if you inspect the output and trim away all
of the stuff you know is unneeded even though the whole reason you're
sending the strace output is that you don't know cygwin well enough to
fix the problem and so, therefore, your attempt to trim the output is
likely to trim away useful bits...

  Even better, come up with a simple test case, and post it to the list, but
then, because it doesn't quite show the problem like you expected it to,

  We DO NOT talk about not-Shirley club.

   ... But anyway, that's not important right now.

Long Email Subject Hippo Filter

Hi,
I have been developing a simple Filter to allow the reading of really long subject lines.
I am writing it using Perl-3d (special glasses required), and have got it down to a compact 100,000
lines. All was going well but the filter does not cope well with attachments on the Subject Line
(png's) these are causing Windows Segment Faults.

Please Fix this immediately.
