(rfc822-addresses "scp@blanche.LANL>GOV (Stephen C. Pope)")
went into a loop.

A fix is to change line 288 of rfc822.el from
			    ((looking-at "[][\000-\037\177-\377@;:\\.]")
to
			    ((looking-at "[][\000-\037\177-\377@;:\\.>]")

There may well be a larger class of bugs in dealing with such buggy
addresses (for characters other than #\>);  however it's been a long
time since I last looked at rfc822.el.
