} I can confirm this also, in 7.2.4 at least.  I don't have time to
} track it down unfortunately.  mush is compiled using regcmp() and
} friends, if that's any help.  regcmp is mentioned in the error message.
} It appears regcmp is being passed an unitialized pointer.

Has nothing to do with regcmp().  The patch below will be included in patch
#5, to be out Real Soon Now [next week].  Mush has now been sent through the
"purify" memory leak/corruption checker and a lot of bugs in the new POP
code were squashed.  Mush itself passes with flying colors (no warnings and
zero leaked bytes, though I haven't purified the SunView part).
