TNEF problem

[Patterson, S R]

The problem of TNEF "hanging" and growing to unfeasible sizes has
recurred, this time I took a copy of the winmail.dat and have run tnef
across it in debug mode.  TNEF reached and levelled out at ~540M this
time, the output is below (the process is still running but "hung" at
this point).  The "len: 0" line is interesting at the bottom.

Anyone any ideas?  I don't want to distribute the winmail.dat just yet
as it may be confidential.
