Index: mmdf-IIb's version of /usr/ucb/Mail (~mmdf/uip/ucbmail)

Problem: Sometimes when using the ~v escape when editting a
	message, upon return from the editor the program starts
	acting up.  The original report that I got was that
	the program "locks up", unfortunately that's about
	as good an error report I'm likely to get from him.
	Fortunately it happened to me (but I forgot to get
	a core dump ... oh well).

	I'd been responding to a message using 'R', done ~v
	for awhile, then exitted and sent the message.  It
	said "EOT" then saved the message in dead.letter.
	hmmm.... so I did "q" and it just sat there.  Putting
	it in the background and running systat showed it
	to be taking 80% of the cpu of an almost unloaded
	system.  Fortunately it didn't do anything to my mailbox.

Now, I don't know if people are experiencing these problems with
the pure unadulterated version on 4.3 or not.  We don't run any
systems here where I could run the unadulterated version.  The
ucbmail which comes in mmdf's distribution is almost the same
one as in the 4.3 distribution.  At least the Bezerkeley version
numbers are (mostly) the same.  There were a number of changes
necessary to make it run under mmdf, and some other changes
I'm not sure about why they were made.
