    <thetext>After (what is currently) step 12.7.1 in the MIME type parsing algorithm, the &apos;extra&apos; variable must be reset to the empty string (&quot;&quot;) or else the name of the parameter will grow exponentially with any subsequent extra portion.</thetext>

    <thetext>This algorithm has since been rewritten, so I don&apos;t think this is a problem anymore.</thetext>
