Description of problem:

emacs vm stoped reading new mail in this latest rev.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

emacs-vm-8.0.0.453-1.fc7

How reproducible:

very.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. replace .emacs with a file containing only the following:

(setq vm-spool-files
      (list
       (list "INBOX" (expand-file-name "~/mbox") "CRASHBOX")
       (list "INBOX" (expand-file-name "~/Mailbox") "CRASHBOX")
       (list "INBOX" (concat "/var/mail/" (user-login-name))
"CRASHBOX")
       (list "LIST" (expand-file-name "~/Mailbox+list")
"LISTCRASHBOX")
       ))

2. send yourself mail
3. start emacs
4. try to read the new mail with M-x vm

Actual results:

No new mail is incorporated

Expected results:

New mail should be appended to the end of the INBOX

Additional info:

The previous yum version of emacs-vm worked fine.

Commenting out the vm-spool-files and making sure the env MAILBOX
variable is
correctly set is a work around.  One won't be able to use alternate
mailboxs
(such as POP etc.)
