It is conceivable that memory structures used by malloc()/free() are
being corrupted somewhere, and that both problems are symptoms.

I was not expecting this to hold up release of 1.0.2. However, I
would like to see the problem corrected eventually. I find it very
convenient to archive old mail in packf -mmdf format, and be able to
use msh on the rare occasions that I have to look at an old message.
So at present I cannot complete my switch from MH to nmh.
