Hi everybody,
I experienced a wild bug today: `NM' repeatedly failed to get mail
and it didn't stop there, i witnessed what i qualify as some memory dump
one time and i found a lost cluster another time. I tried many times to
get the same message but to no end, `NM' crashed in the most hideous way
everytime; the machine even got hanged or was rebooted... I'm lucky to
have an alternative which works in those cases and i succeeded uncloging
my ~E-Mail~ account (these things happened before, in the past). What i
want to know is if other users than i have ever encountered some similar
problems. I eliminated `LSPPP' as the source of my problem, `EPPPD' was
as bad and `NM' even had its .CFG file damaged. I cleared its directory
and deleted the .LOG file (it became large with the time) but the common
element seems to be THAT message which wouldn't seem to capture on disk!
I used `{Commo}' to have a copy of it in file and then i deleted it
from my ~POP3~ server, the problem didn't show up anymore when i lauched
`NM' again. The failed captures seemed to always stop at the same field
so i included the header so that anyone with an explanation can comment:

I had to fold some of the lines after the 72nd column but what made
me think is the ID (J2DD8BBK): it once displayed on my screen when `NM'
went berzerk and i'm wondering if a simple line like this can also cause
disruption in other ~E-Mail~ clients!... 8-o Does this sound familiar?
