This is probably not a bug in mail, but a bug in convert. When mail
does it's garbage collection on the file it calls convert to fix up
the file. Either convert is broken or RMS is broken (hopefully the
former).

Of course, the solution is to not have a lot of messages hanging
around in your mail file. Fixed in a later release?
