The message recently sent by Peter Arien ("backport to horde RELENG of
initial_application") contains a tar file attachment that is crashing
my CVS HEAD IMP. The error generated is:

Sep 11 13:30:00 host httpsd: PHP Fatal error:  pack type a: not enough input,
need 8, have 0 in /path/horde/lib/MIME/Viewer/tgz.php on line 139

Result is a blank message frame.

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
