Non-terminating recursion in UCGetLYhndl_byMIME, looking for a charset
that apparently is now unrecognized because it was not compiled in.
In UCdomap.c, find the lines

    if (!strncasecomp(value, "windows-", 8) &&
        isdigit((unsigned char)value[8]) &&
        isdigit((unsigned char)value[9]) &&
        isdigit((unsigned char)value[10])) {

and change them to

    if (!strncasecomp(value, "windows-", 8) &&
        isdigit((unsigned char)value[8]) &&
        isdigit((unsigned char)value[9]) &&
        isdigit((unsigned char)value[10]) &&
        strcmp(&value[8], "1252") && strcmp(&value[8], "1250")) {

This is untested and may not be the best way, but it should work
to avoid the problem.

Alternatively, make sure the windows-1252 and windows-1250 charsets
are configured in.  (I haven't downloaded dev.8 yet, so don't know how
to do that.)
