Summary: Memory error on AIX in email.Utils._qdecode

Initial Comment:
The following scriptlet works correctly on RedHat
python2-2.2.3, but gets a MemoryError on AIX
python-2.2.3.  This is the only anomoly for AIX python
I have seen.

import email

fp = open('analfail')
msg = email.message_from_file(fp)
for part in msg.walk():
  if part.get_main_type() == 'text':
    txt = part.get_payload(decode=True)
    #del msg["content-transfer-encoding"]
    msg.set_payload(txt)
fp.close()
print msg.as_string()

It doesn't matter whether the 'del' is there.
