23.1; rmailmm.el mime decode crashes emacs

Opening the mail file available at

http://math.columbia.edu/~neumann/bugwith rmail and typing "v" to

view the message using rmail-mime crashes emacs: emacs starts using

100% cpu and becomes unresponsive. Tested on two systems, with and

without init files loaded.

I can't reproduce a "crash" in either 23.1 or the CVS trunk.

23.1 decodes the message in a reasonable time, but slightly incorrectly.

The trunk decodes it correctly, but very slowly (it can be interrupted

any time with C-g). Is this what you meant? If so, it is fixed now.

Yes indeed, no crash: I misinterpreted "very slow" (over 15 minutes on my

machine) and the fact that the emacs window was unkillable (I didn't think

to try ctl-g). And CVS fixes it. Thanks.
