- I was trying to sort a folder with more than 700 messages, and
- sortm dumped core, reporting "Segmentation fault".
- The sort had been partially done. In the folder directory there
- was a core file, and one message had been left named sort001234
- or some such. I was able to re-inc the sort* file and recover
- the message.
