After editing a message I got the error

cond: Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil

whenever I tried to move around my inbox, this is vm 7.11 I tried
debug-on-error but I think there's a problem interaction with vm and
bbdb (?) which results in it going into debug all the time with a
backtrace of (nil)

This is normally not a problem but in this case the cpu then went to 100%
and I couldn't break in short of killing emacs (21.3.50)


I realise this is totally insufficient for a bug report(!) and the
possible culprits are more than just vm but I thought I'd put it out
there, in case someone else is seeing something similar!
