Hi,
My department just changed over its Athena cluster from DEC machines to 
SparcClassics, and since the change, pmail is giving me core dumps
regularly.  I'm not exactly sure what the triggering conditions are, but
it seems to happen at the end of reading a message, perhaps connected with
being in autoprint mode, and perhaps an interaction with the pager I use,
which is "less".  Is this a known bug?  Is there a better version than
the one in the sibp locker?  Is anyone still working on the port of this
program?  Would it be helpful if I could figure out how to reliably 
reproduce it?

Thanks.
