Well, it's not any more.  :-(

I haven't changed anything since, I'm still using the newly compiled VM.
I had moved a few messages around, I think I only moved messages one
location at a time (M-C-P without an argument), but moved it several
places in succession if that makes a difference.  The move worked but
when I tried to save the folder I got the macro error in the minibuffer.

  Invalid Function: (macro lambda (n) (byte-code "<byte-code>" [n let m (if

I created a new folder with 4 new messages.  I read them all and saved
the folder.  I moved message 3 back one position and tried saving the
folder.  The same problem occured.  I traced it to a call to
vm-stuff-attributes.  I reloaded all the .el files and had the same
problems.  A trace is included below.  The following is the header of
the first message.

I tried, recompiling all the vm-*.el files and recreating vm.elc and had
the same problems (I followed the Makefile you posted previously).

Also, if it matters, I had used vm-sort-by-subject during this session
in another folder.  It was last modified 3 may 91 by jwz. (couldn't find
a version number).

I'm using VM 5.32 and epoch 4.2.2.  Any help is appreciated.
