The file was a .doc, but I've tried changing it to docx and get the same
result. Some other .doc and .docx files that are word 2007 upload no
problem. But I don't see how it can complain when I have the MimeType
verification disabled - completely disabling the verification would be
no problem since only specific users can upload.

p.s. this is a MW 1.19.2 on Ubuntu Server 11.10 with PHP 5.3.6
