Re: [Nmh-workers] Second release candidate for nmh 1.6 now available

 the dud "ISO-8859-" is the buffer initializer which i
 believe is caused by norm_charmap being asked to work on its own output.

 i've fixed this by malloc()ing that buffer; see attached patch.

Thanks!  However ... that will result in a memory leak, yes?  Okay,
you'll point out that nmh is terrible on memory management and I won't
disagree, but I don't think that's an excuse for making it worse.
Fixing this properly either means we need to be much more clever in
norm_charmap(), or always allocate a buffer and fix every caller of
norm_charmap().  Sigh.
