I've noticed that occasionally VM (5.32) will fail to retrieve a
message from my inbox (/var/spool/mail), and worse yet it gets
deleted. I know something *was* in the mailbox because "newmail" (by
Dave Taylor) flashes the subject on the screen. It seems to only occur
when I invoke vm after the newmail message (things seem to work ok if
vm is already loaded). I know this is not a very helpful bug report,
but does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could better isolate
(or fix) the problem. 

GNU Emacs 18.58, SUNOS 4.1.2, VM 5.32beta

Thanks,
        Mark
