This is not a new problem. It existed also in 1.0.
When I use 'msh' to read an mmdf style mailbox, such as might be
created with packf -mmdf, it dies on a Bus error.
In my experience, a Bus error is usually an alignment problem.
Here is what gdb says of the error:
gdb uip/msh core

Note that traditional MH has no comparable problem.
The line pointed to in m_getfld.c is:
pat_map = (unsigned char **) calloc (256, sizeof(unsigned char *));
------------------
Does anybody have suggestions as to where I can go from here in
tracking down the problem.
