When I call an mh program (say "show") from within another (say from
inside vi while using "comp") it dumps core!

This is what happens:

% comp

/* some editing in vi here */

then from within vi, I do:

:!show

At this poing I get a Seg. violation (core dumped) message.

Is this some problem with my set-up or a bug?

This doies NOT happen when I simply invoke vi from the shell and then
type :!show.

Here's my MH info:
