Subject: bug

#image/jpeg ; name=""foo" [description] foo


What's wrong:
	mhbuild dumped core trying to print the error message
	"invalid parameter in message %s's %s: field\n%*.*s(parameter %s)"
	because the first string argument was null.

What should have happened:
	mhbuild should have said "you used an odd number of quotation marks"
	instead of dumping core

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	mhbuild(1)
