There was a small window where attachments were being stripped
from gnu mailing list emails, that the above hit unfortunately.
So for the record, the patch referenced above is:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commit;h=222d7ac0

There was a problem with that though, identified by the darwin job
added to the hydra continuous integration system today:
http://hydra.nixos.org/job/gnu/coreutils-master/build.x86_64-darwin

I pushed the attached patch to address that.

thanks,
Pádraig.
