Patch for new virus - Mabuto.B or Mabutu-A

[Julian Field]

If it works for you without the patch, then carry on as you are. A
properly-fixed version of MIME-tools will be released at some point later
today (though I don't know the timezone of that statement), at which point
I'll do another beta release.

Hopefully that will be the last update before the next stable release.
