VM 4.41
AIX 1.2
Emacs 19

This has happened to me twice (same folder).  In INBOX, I press s to
save the mail in a folder called "~/support/sup.mail".  I think I
press Space (as opposed to Tab).  Now it says ~/support/ .  Next, I
press Space again, and somewhere between here and the next Space
press, it crashes with "Abort."  I can't remember if it gets to
~/support/sup. and I press Space again.

I can't seem to reproduce this problem.  I think it only happens after
I've been fiddling around in the INBOX for a while.

Is this a known bug?  It's only happened to me in VM--I'm sure of
this.  I have a vivid memory of crashes (talk to me about Bus error(6)
:-{ ).

Heh, heh, it's Emacs 18.55, actually.

Does this count towards my 15 minutes?
