I ran into a situation this week where I wished VM was MH-like, rather than
Berkeley-like. I went on vacation for two weeks and when I came back on
Momday my mailbox had 1500 mail messages in it. This caused all sorts of
problems with buffer sizes and memory exhaustion. I had to manually edit
INBOX.CRASH to get it down to a manageable size.
