segfault reading new mail with VM

[Stephen Eglen]

Periodically (once every week or so), when going to get new mail with
VM, Emacs will crash on me.  I've now started running it under gdb,
here is the latest backtrace.  It rarely seems to happen outside VM,
but seems to be to with Emacs internals.
