if a pick operation within xmh produces a very long
result, the file ~/.mh_sequences is no longer useable
by xmh - i.e. most operations involving sequences
will now fail like this:
repl: /mit/geer/Mail/inbox/.mh_sequences is poorly formatted
where ``poorly formatted'' means that a line in the
file is too damned long. only problem is that the
line was produced by a legitimate user action.
exiting xmh and applying emacs to the problem is the
only symptomatic cure.
though this is reported for 6.2A RTPC platforms, i imagine
the problem is pandemic.
