You didn't say in what version of emacs this occurred.  If you are running
version 18.56 or 18.57 of emacs, considering the heavy use that VM makes of
narrow-to-region, it could be the famous narrow-to-region bug.  It was
discussed in one of the emacs groups before.  Apparently it is bad enough to
cause emacs to abort.  I applied the patch for it, but I seem to have lost the
patch file and I didn't save the original.  I don't know that it worked,
anyway, because instead of core dumps, now I often get random binary stuff in
my mail messages when using VM 5.31 with emacs 18.57 on Irises, although it has
never so much as burped on Suns.
