clear_eof 'decode_filter' with enabled filter...

Hrrrm... this is interesting.  A silly PGP5 user sent me a smear of
text/plain, text/html and a JPEG of a piece of paper (did I say he was
silly?) and GPG is able to decrypt it just fine, but spits out the above
subject line and coredumps in the process.

I used the handy-dandy '--debug 16' to see just what was going on (I
won't bore you with all the details, but enough to show the iobuf
stack):

<bunch of snippage>

gpg: DBG: iobuf-5.6: push 'block_filter'

gpg: iobuf-5.3: clear_eof 'decode_filter' with no EOF pending
gpg: DBG: iobuf-5.3: pop 'decode_filter'

gpg: Segmentation fault caught ... exiting

It seems to be breaking at:
Breakpoint 4, iobuf_pop_filter (a=0x80d528c, f=0, ov=0x0) at iobuf.c:754
754         if( a->usage == 2 && (rc=iobuf_flush(b)) ) {
(gdb) next
759         if( (rc = b->filter(b->filter_ov, IOBUFCTRL_FREE, b->chain,
(gdb) print b
$4 = 0x80d4274
(gdb) print b->filter
$5 = (int (*)()) 0
