hack fix to corrupted bug database file 36921

Just an FYI...

A while back I discovered that all cron output was getting redirected
to /dev/null which is not a great operating plan.  I removed that
redirection so that I could see the errors from it.

    */10  * * * *   Debian-debbugs /usr/lib/debbugs/rebuild db-h

I am looking at some of the errors and I find that bug 36921 has a
corrupted 36921.summary file in the database.  It looks like random
bits to my eye.  It should be a series of header information which is
then displayed in the bug header summary area.

    https://debbugs.gnu.org/36921

I manually did a fix to this by using emacs to create a new summary
file by hand looking at the bug email log file.  Having done this it
seems to have corrected this error and the rebuild of db-h is then
silent.
