I looked into the rmail crashing bug that I described earlier, and
mailed a sample to rms.  The bug occurs when there is a message that
has a line in its body that starts with (lower-case) "from".  18.55
rmail will keep trying to convert the top part of the message into
Babyl format until emacs crashes for lack of memory.  I see two
problems here: memory handling and rmail conversion.
