Well actually it's only meant to sound like the committer doesn't
understand the problem!

The current tests are how I found the problem!  Without this patch at
least the multipart tests will fail.  I don't see how another test will
add anything.

Carl, if you (or anyone else) understands what the issue is, then please
go ahead and modify the commit message.  I don't understand things
enough myself to do any better.  Clearly there is some strange
interaction with things that try to use stdout after
g_mime_stream_file_new() has already grabbed it.

I really wouldn't block on this, though, since the patch does fix an
actual bug.

jamie.
