This is actually a problem with some versions of movemail.  Some
versions of movemail installed in the emacs19 locker, as well as the
movemail program installed on the SGI system packs.  What I do is
explicitly set vm-movemail-program to
"/usr/athena/lib/gnuemacs/etc/movemail" for most athena platforms and
this appears to fix the problem.
