yeah, that's what i did, and to great success. although you'd never know that
anyone else had encountered this. this bug has actually been around for a
while ... searching through the archives for the sanitizer scripts found me
this ... http://www.spconnect.com/pipermail/esa-l/2001q3/000603.html and i
followed the guy's advice.

i guess perl on freebsd doesn't like command lines that immense. the mime one
is almost 500 lines (as a separate perl script, but with no extra line
padding), and the other two long perl segments didn't do any better. cutting
them into individual files was much more effective. :>

peace,
Klaus
