What were you trying to do?
Incorporate and read mail.
What's wrong:
Almost any nmh command accessing a peice of mail causes it to segfault.
This includes inc -silent, and show or scan on the particular message.
Scan fails regardless of the form used.
[cfox@frank-n-furter]cfox$ scan -form /usr/athena/etc/scan.nomime 547
Segmentation fault
[cfox@frank-n-furter]cfox$ scan 547
Segmentation fault
[cfox@frank-n-furter]cfox$ show 547
(Message inbox:547)
Segmentation fault
It however doesn't include scanning the whole inbox, which works
correctly.
The bug seems specific to linux; I can't reproduce it on an athena sun
or SGI, but can reproduce it under 8.3 layered linux athena, as well as
a current 8.4 one.
