[imp] Large Attachement

Quoting michael at eigentechnology.com:

| I wonder if the following info would help to decipher the problem.
| 
| When I attach a file in my mail, there are two files created in my /tmp
| directory: formpost and impattq77QS3
| 
| [root at linux tmp]# ls -l
| total 124
| -rw-------    1 michael  michael     34052 Feb 17 22:21 formpost
| -rw-r--r--    1 nobody   4294967295      183 Feb 17 22:16 horde.log
| -rw-------    1 nobody   4294967295    55744 Feb 17 22:21 impattq77QS3
| 
| I tested this several times and learnt that impattq77QS3 is the file that
| will
| be posted in the end, and this file is a lot bigger than the original
| file
| test4.doc as shown here:
| 
| [root at linux tmp]# ls -l /home/michael/test4.doc
| -rw-rw-r--    1 michael  michael     31744 Feb 17 15:50
| /home/michael/test4.doc
| 
| 
| After I have sent the mail out, another file in /tmp appeared, formpost-1
| and
| impattq77QS3 disappeared.
| 
| [root at linux tmp]#
| [root at linux tmp]# ls -l
| total 68
| -rw-------    1 michael  michael     34052 Feb 17 22:21 formpost
| -rw-------    1 michael  michael      2886 Feb 17 22:21 formpost-1
| [root at linux tmp]#

It looks like you have a seriously jacked-up PHP installation; or at least a
version of PHP that has some debugging code installed (at least that is my
best guess).  There should be no 'formpost' documents that are created so
that leads me to believe something about your PHP installation is not
standard.  Horde/IMP does not create that file.
