[Bug 313579] [NEW] readpst in hardy fails on Outlook 2003 files

[Jeremy Impson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: readpst

The 0.5.2 version of readpst on 8.04.1 dumps core when reading some
Outlook 2003 PST files.

jdimpson at argentina:~/foo$ readpst ../Personal\ Folders\(1\).pst 
Opening PST file and indexes...
debug_fp is NULL
ERROR: Unknown block constant - 0X2 for id 0x1479c2
About to start processing first record...
Processing items...
Processing Folder "Deleted Items"
debug_fp is NULL
ERROR Unknown ref_type 0x1048
Segmentation fault
jdimpson at argentina:~/foo$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release:	8.04

When I directly downloaded & built the latest version of readpst
(0.5.3), it handles this same PST file correctly.  I notice that readpst
0.5.3 is present in 8.10.  It doesn't seem to be available as a hardy-
backport.  As 8.04 is a long-term release, it would be wonderful if the
more functional version 0.5.3 were available for it.

This might be related to Bug #78613, although the errors are not
identical, and that version of readpst was 0.5.1.

Thank you for all your hard work on this package.  It is appreciated!

Jeremy
