The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

Hi,

What are the logs when Sympa crash with such a message?
Given the logs you find, I'll be able to tell you whether we fixed the problem or not. The library can still not support UTF-16, but maybe we now eval errors in some parts of the code that prevent sympa from crashing.

Regards,

David

a message with UTF-16 encoded headers through it. We are running Sympa
6.1.4 but I don't think this has been fixed in the later releases, since
the problem stems from the perl cpan library Encode::MIME::Header which
still only supports UTF-8 in message headers.

http://search.cpan.org/~dankogai/Encode-2.49/lib/Encode/MIME/Header.pm

The symptom is that sympa.pl dies. Sympa will still accept messages,
but does not distribute them. Removing the wedged message helps and the
logjam gets cleared from the system.

At least, this is my initial analysis. Anyone else seen this happen?
