Would it be possible that c-client releases some memory related to the
closed connexion, where the body (or a pointer to it) is located ?
Then M would try to save the body, but only to get a dangling pointer...
I remember that I once noticed that there was a missing check about the
state of the connexion, somewhere, but never managed to remember where
it is.

Michele (and others who got Frankenstein messages), do you use POP or
IMAP ?
