---> Here is a copy of a similar bug, which I've forwarded
---> to the bug-reports address at Irvine.

Hello,

I'm running POP (RPOP and DPOP) on an IBM RT which runs Release 3 of
the Academic Operating System (BSD 4.3).  When I run the command,
"inc -notruncate" on the client machine, it correctly retrieves
the four messages in the maildrop but adds 40 characters to
the maildrop.  The additional chars are sets of

	\001\001\001\001, which is my mail delimiter (1 and 2)

from the mtstailor file.  There is one set of four \001's at both
the start and end of the maildrop, and each message is separated
from the next by two lines of four such chars.

The next time I run just "inc", it incorporates the same mail, but I get
the following message,

	inc: eof encountered in field ""
	??Format error (message 9) in component 1
	9  07/13*To:

By the way, if I run a "msgchk" in between the two "inc's", the
program says I have five msgs instead of four.

Sincerely,
