Thank you for your exmh bug report.
From the error messages, I suspect that you started two copies of
exmh at once. This causes race conditions in the code, which can
lead to errors like the one you got.
I'll look into the code, but you can avoid the error by only
running one copy of exmh at a time.
Sincerely,
