Summary: Rmail in Emacs on an Alpha running OSF1 2.0 (is anyone else
annoyed by these strange version numbers?) fails to parse incoming mail
into rmail messages properly.

Emacs 19.25 (plus the suspend-emacs patch, plus the
standard-display-european patch, plus the alpha patches from
gatekeeper.dec.com), compiled on an Alpha running OSF1 1.3, ``parses''
the mail message following into multiple rmail messages on an OSF1 2.0
machine.

That is:
cp /tmp/foo /var/spool/mail/karl # /tmp/foo being the mail msg below
emacs -q RET
M-x rmail RET
[now at message 1 of 2]
C-x C-c y RET

... gets me the rmail file below. (I've changed the C-_'s to plain _'s;
if it winds up in an rmailbox in its true form, it will mess up the
file.)

Is this simply a lost cause -- Emacs compiled under 1.3 doesn't work
under 2.0? Every other binary I've tried (all the GNU stuff) that I
compiled under 1.3 works fine under 2.0. Only Emacs fails. (Perhaps
because of the undumping stage and/or regex? [Wild guess.])

Is there any remedy? Obviously, I can just have two binaries, but
equally obviously, I'd rather not.

Thanks in advance.
