I was logged into brute-force, a 9.1.27 sun.

I have 1315 in my spam-probable folder. having glanced at them all, I
wanted to move them into my spam-confirmed folder. I tried the
command:
  refile -src spam-probable +spam-confirmed all
and was given the error:
  refile: more than 998 messages for delete exec

I got the same error when I added -rmmproc rm (well s/delete/rm/) so I
assume it's a nmh bug.

Further annoying me, my spam-confirmed folder has a very weird number
of messages in it. I'd created it at the start of this, now after
running that refile twice, it has 2809 messages in it. which is more
1315+1315.

None of these commands are funny aliases.
