Subject: possible VM bug
Organization: Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science

I just tried using VM for the first time in a 19.15 beta (I
use it regularly in 19.14), and I'm getting a movemail
error.  

If I vm-get-new-mail when there is no mail to be gotten, I
end up with an empty crashbox, where VM 5.96beta would have
removed that crashbox.  This means that the next time I try
to get new mail, movemail gripes, "File exists for INBOX.CRASH".

Now, we have a pretty funky mail setup here, involving a
hacked movemail and some minor vm tweaks, so it's quite
likely that this is just my problem.  I just thought I'd ask
if anyone else has seen this behavior, since we're so close
to release.

I've located what appears to be the source of the problem
(a change introduced in VM 6.15, in 19.15-b95), and sent a
more detailed bug report to Kyle.
