ugh. great. now i can't reproduce. :( i'm sorry, it seems the state of
the mailspool on the other side changed and the bug has just vanished.
totally frustrating, on the one hand. on the other hand: yay bug solved?

I'm sorry i couldn't be of more help... maybe the gdb backtrace could be
of use? i might still have the core file around if you need to inspect
some state...
