Try this:  Log the first 20 bytes or so of the 'body' string just
before the call to smfi_replacebody.  If those come out garbled, the
problem is definitely in the milter and we can track it back to the
source.  If they're okay, then either smfi_replacebody is screwing up
or the body is getting corrupted inside sendmail after that.
