Has anyone else noticed that mushtool 6.5.[123] will give a
segmentation fault when trying to display certain large (>500 lines)
messages?

Happens on a sun3 and sun4 running SunOS 3.2 and 4.0, respectively.
Stack traces suggest the error is far removed from the location of
the seg fault, which on a sun4, frequently occurs in sigtramp().

Seems to be aggravated by 

	set show_hdrs = "from to cc subject"

in Mail.rc for messages with large To: lines, though removal of the
"show_hdrs" doesn't eliminate the error in some Really Huge Messages--
say 4000 lines.
