System name:		hydrox-cookie
Type and version:	KN01 7.1H (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PM-MONO

What were you trying to do?
	Compose a letter.

What's wrong:
	xmh core dumped.

What should have happened:
	xmh should bring up a compose window, not core dump.

Have a drafts folder set up.
create an empty file in it (say '2')
open the drafts folder (thus scanning, and recreating .xmhcache)
remove the empty file 
compose

core dump

	It dumps in malloc, presumably because xmh wrote somewhere it
shouldn't have.  

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	none, I think.
