This is from a walk-in SIPB office question, and since I couldn't
reproduce it, I don't have the details of the error message.
In any case, the user incorportated email, on two different
workstations, from within exmh. Each time, upon getting to a
particular message, the workstation burped an error (which he doesn't
remember, and I get the impression that it dissapeared quickly) then
rebooted. (He tried two different workstations.)
When we looked at his inbox, we found the particular message file to be
empty (for both iterations). We then tried an inc -notruncate (from a
third workstation), and then a regular inc, both of which were
successful. (We checked that he was well below his quota - there was a
total of 5M of mail, according to from.)
I'm putting it down to cosmic rays influencing, but perhaps we want to
keep tabs on how often it happens.
