I was exiting elm, when I got impatient, so I pressed ^Z and typed 'bg'
to get my prompt back.  Elm stopped with tty output, so I entered 'fg'
but it just hung.  After a while I tried pressing ^C to make it stop (I
had by now made a copy of my spool file).  It refused to stop.  I quit
the shelltool window it was in, and although I did not realize it right
away, it was still active.  I removed /tmp/mbox.david and tried to
reenter elm.  It said it was trying to read the mailbox while mail was
being received, and gave up after 7 tries.  I eventually killed the elm
task that was still running, but it still gives me the same message.
Please help.  -David-
