Often my [Amdahl SYS V compiled 18.55] emacs gets stuck on subshell
stuff (some kind of SYS V problem, not a VM problem)... so I have to
hit ^G, send myself some mail, and then type "g" in VM to hopefully
get all the stuff and the nothing-mail I sent myself out of the
INBOX.CRASH ... that's when the loop happend ...

Anyway, It [by the way] would be neat if the "g" or some other key
would get mail out of the crash box, even if no new mail arrives...

[I finnaly fixed the title bar of this message]
