What does "File Upload Error - No Mime boundary found after start of file" mean?

This error causes the $uploadfile and $uploadfile_size to be undefined, 
but $uploadfile_name is defined with the local file name and 
$uploadfile_type is properly defined.

There is a one-in-a-million type of issue where if the contents of the 
uploaded file magically contains the series of chars used as the mime 
separator it is going to fail.  Try some other files to see if this is 
the problem in your case.
