This is because your "/etc/mailcap" has a ridiculous lot of goodies
been added to via a installation routine of packages who use
install-mime. I remember to have had a "/etc/mailcap" of more than
200KB once making lynx take quite some minutes to start up! :-(
Just reinstall the mime-support package to get a reasonably sized
"/etc/mailcap" or buy yourself a reasonably fast PentiumPro and you
are done. ;-)
As someone else has already pointed out before it looks like a bug in
the install-mime routine or one of the packages taking advantage of it
has gone nuts!? I don't know how to trace it down other than
deinstalling all packages using the install-mime routine and reinstall
them one after another with appropriate checking.
