I recently upgraded an old FreeBSD server to Debian Linux.  Just one user is 
using the mail program, but their old .mailrc file is causing seg faults.  I 
commented out all of it and brought in lines one at a time and it seems that 
several of the aliases are doing it.  I can't determine any common element of 
the aliases that are causing the seg fault.  

Here's a sample showing the set commands , a few good aliases and then a few 
that are causing segfaults when included in the file.  The seg fault occurs 
when calling the mail program at the commandline by the way.

set EDITOR=/usr/ucb/ex
set SHELL=/bin/csh
set SHELL=/bin/csh crt=24 ask nosave append
set ask
set askcc
set crt=24
set folder=mail record=+outgoing
set metoo
set remotesignature=~/.signature
set save
set sigdashes=on
