There seems to be an unhappy interaction between Kyle's
timer and the wakeup program in emacs version 18.57.  When I
was using reportmail.el and appt.el (which use wakeup)
along with vm (using timer) my emacs session was inclined to
freeze up on random occasions when I used vm-get-new-mail.

I have modified reportmail.el and appt.el to use timer and
this problem seems to have gone away.

Which leads me to ask whether future versions of vm will use
wakeup rather than timer?
