Hi, Philippe. Yes, it's too hard to debug the problem just based on the
strace. I don't currently have easy access to a Linux machine, so I'll have
to leave it up to others to contact you re: the user's mailbox, but before
that, is there any way you could try nmh-1.0.4+dev? The problem may already
be fixed.
You can get the development source via anonymous CVS:
