I'm very sorry about this, but d14 (I think) and d15 (sure) got
a very fatal bug:
When Nuntius tries to open a group which name is longer than 29 chars,
it splits the name into a folder name, and a filename inside that folder.

This function has a fatal bug: it never ends, but continues
to create folders inside each other. If this process is aborted
with cmd-opt-esc, trashing the filesystem has a high probability.

The bug was introduced due to some reordering in the code.
(and allowing local variables in C/C++ to have the same name as
one in an outer scope)
 
I have fixed this bug, but is unable to make d16 available until
Wednesday, or even later if my cold gets worse.
