Yes, this worked.  Thank you.  In any case this simplifies the code.

Yeah, I figured as much, but I shied away from reading the file in
bytevector chunks that would then need to be searched for control
characters to split the parts of the log file.  I’ll probably do that
later, but for the first pass I just decided to use read-line.

An example is attached.  I picked it arbitrarily from the many logs that
fail when I don’t drop the first line.

The mbox begins at the first ^G and ends at the next ^C.
