I ran into this a couple of months ago. It's caused by an empty registry entry under Mimetypes. Some program installs a mime type for itself incorrectly.
Alas, I can't remember which one it is, but the setup newsgroup for plone may still have my original message lying around in it. The solution is to delete that particular mimetype registry key; it's not used by anything. Joe Alan Runyan wrote: > *sigh* > > If your up for debugging .. I have some hints..
