Bug#614545: MIME::Words: unexpected case: Please alert developer.

[Chung-chieh Shan]

Package: libmime-tools-perl
Version: 5.501-1
Severity: normal
Tags: sid

The MIME::Words package in the new version of libmime-tools-perl seems
to be not as robust when decoding newlines in its input:

    $ perl -MMIME::Words=decode_mimewords -e 'decode_mimewords("\nx")'
    MIME::Words: unexpected case:
    (
    x) pos 0
            Please alert developer.

Thanks,
	Ken
