Um, hmm, maybe I misunderstood the nature of the bug.  This was a
base64-encoded PDF file.

Hmm, I've since reinstalled -pre4, restarted apache, tried again, and
had exactly the same result.  I've diffed the autohandler in our RT
directory (the path referred to in the error message is correct) with
the one in the -pre4 distribution, and they're the same (and indeed
different than the one in the -pre3 distribution.)  I feel like I must
be missing something obvious, but I haven't yet figured out what.  We
still get the same error.  :-(

(Grasping at straws here, is it conceivable that dynamically loaded
mod_perl is the problem?)
