What were you trying to do?
	run inc

What's wrong:
	it core dumped

What should have happened:
	it should get new mail

Please describe any relevant documentation references:


Wow, there's really no useful place in this form to put the useful
information, like "How can we reproduce this bug" or "Is there any
other useful information you'd like to point out?".

The person who was losing (not I) had a ~/.mh_profile with no
terminating newline.  It ended with "Signature: First Last" and then
eof.  Adding a terminating newline made inc (and the rest of mh) happy
again.
