So, deleting the 120k email message did indeed cause pmail to
resume working.
I re-sent myself the message, and re-ran pmail. It still
segfaults while trying to retrieve the message. Ran gdb on the
core dump:
0 opus{63}% ls
0 opus{64}% pmail
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
139 opus{65}% ls -l
total 266

Core was generated by `pmail'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
warning: Hit heuristic-fence-post without finding
warning: enclosing function for address 0xfac0a54
This warning occurs if you are debugging a function without any symbols
(for example, in a stripped executable). In that case, you may wish to
increase the size of the search with the `set heuristic-fence-post' command.
Otherwise, you told GDB there was a function where there isn't one, or
(more likely) you have encountered a bug in GDB.
