Found the cause.... Checked the permissions on the tnef unpacker:

Removing the suid bits hopefully makes things work okay again...



Gah. How on earth did that happen on your system? Unless that was some form of freak accident, see if you can point the finger at whatever package installer did that, and then complain to the author.

There has been a history of problems with certain systems where reformime from maildrop was installed setuid root (it would make the real author of maildrop spin on his axis) - hence those permission checks. I'm a bit staggered that it's also finding problems with other packages too.

(as well all know: installing things setuid root is NOT something to do lightly)
