Thank you for you exmh bug report.

I'll look into the bug, but would be helped in this if you
are able to provide me with some additional information.

First: bugs that I can deliberately reproduce are easiest to
debug, because I can trigger them at will, while studying the
code to see what's going on.  Are you able to explain to me
how to reproduce the error that you saw?

Second: sometimes weird things happen when people are over their
Athena quota, or very near to it.  Do you know if you were close to
going over your quota when this error happened?


Thank you,
