>Description:
A spam email had its parts extracted via amavisd-new. The first part, text only,
made file dump core. This caused amavisd-new to repeat the extraction process and file dumped core again and so on until the partition was filled. The extracted file is only 937 byte, so there must be some pattern in there that file has problems with. How do I give you the problem file? Should I email it somewhere as an encrypted zip file?
>How-To-Repeat:
Run file on the file.
