For quite a while I am experiencing sudden emacs crashes for no apparent
reason. Until recently I had not checked, since it happened only a few
times a week. But now it happens aggrevatingly often. 

I am convinced that the culprit is VM. In particular, it appears that once
your mail-files are sufficiently large (> 100 messages), then the tiniest
network timeout sends emacs down the tubes. I am using VM 5.31.

Does anybody else experience this problem, and if so, how are you working
around it. Might upgrading to VM 5.32 help?

Thanks for any help.

Thomas.
