When rmail has to re-read the rmail file from the disk because it has been
changed by another process since last written by the current process, rmail
seems to lose track of the inbox file -- the g command doesn't seem to do
anything at that point, nor does M-x rmail read the inbox.  One has to kill
the buffer, it seems, to get the inbox read (with a fresh buffer created by
a new M-x rmail).

To reproduce the problem:

Read your mail with rmail and save the result.

Start another emacs (as if you walked into another office or went home) and
read your mail with rmail there (if there's no new mail, just alter the
rmail file in any way, such as by adding a label to the last message) and
save the changed rmail file.

Now mail yourself a message.

Go back to the first emacs and try to read the new mail.  It will
say something like "file has changed on disk; OK to re-read from disk?"
Type "yes".

At that point, it will reread the rmail file, but it won't read in any new
mail.  Typing "g" won't read the new mail either.
