?? You are running some CHRONICALLY broken installation of maildrop that
setuid root's the reformime program. If the author of maildrop knew about
that he'd probably have a fit.

There is no way I can afford to document every half-broken package that
could possibly be used.

You know - this happened a couple of months ago to some other users. I told
them what I am telling you now. PLEASE contact the author of whatever
package you used and ask them why the hell they thought it'd be a good idea
to install reformime setuid root - when the original package doesn't do
that. That decision breaks every non-root use of that package. If no-one
tells the author, I guarantee this'll happen again...
