Bug description:  mail() hangs when e-mail is too big.

This bug happends only on 4.2.3/Win XP/IIS, (developpement site) our web
site runs the scripts corectly on 4.2.3/Linux/Appache.

Whe have a function to send by e-mail a web page from our site, including
pictures (mime multipart) if used.

All works fine, but on our developpement system (XP/IIS) it seems that
only very small message works (2kb ok, 7 kb hangs)

To send mime compliant message all text is prepared in a single string
$mtext and sent with:

$is_sent=mail($to, $subject,"",$mtext);

result is a send a report bug window to microsoft after a 5 sec wait.

Printing text with flush() during script made us sure the bug is in the
mail function.
