[PATCH] [BUG] test_expect_failure mailinfo -b fatals

[Kyle J. McKay]

This subject line:

> Subject: [other] [PATCH] message

does not get along with the git mailinfo "-b" option.  In fact,
it triggers a fatal bug:

> fatal: `pos + len' is too far after the end of the buffer

While I did not do any exhaustive checking, I do happen to have
a few builds of various versions of Git lying around and it
fails at least as far back as v1.7.6.  (The -b option was
introduced in v1.6.6 I believe.)

At the very least this is now a "known breakage", so might
as well have the tests for it.

If someone comes along and fixes it it's a simple matter
to flip them to test_expect_success instead.

P.S. Oh yes, the real patch subject is below (love those >8).

Subject: [PATCH] t5100: add some more mailinfo tests

Add some more simple mailinfo tests including a few that
produce:

  fatal: `pos + len' is too far after the end of the buffer

Mark those as 'test_expect_failure'.
