In GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (hppa1.1-hp-hpux, X toolkit) of Tue Sep 20 1994 on hphalle0

When reading mail with rmail emacs crashed with segmentation
fault. This happened when positioning (with next, previous or search)
on a large mail (250K) containing postscript code.
The same rmail inbox file could be read in emacs Version 18 without
any problems.

The error message in the shell was:
----------------
Pid 2987 was killed due to stack growth failure.
Possible causes: insufficient memory or swap space,
or stack size exceeded maxssiz.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
--------------------
