my normal state is for my inbox to be a symlink
to another directory.  well, my xmh just did this

	TocMsgFromId search failed! hi=313, lo=312, msgid=1440
	errno = 0
	
	[1]    Illegal instruction  xmh (core dumped)

and i now find that my inbox is not a symlink but
a newly minted hard directory.  the target of the
symlink is just fine, only the link is broken and
replaced with the hard directory.

weird.  [ see ~geer/open/core.xmh.21apr88 ]

the side effect of scaring me with an apparently
empty inbox was a bit unwelcome...
