>Description:
	Periodically, /usr/bin/mail core dumps, thusly:

mail in malloc(): warning: recursive call.
Segmentation fault - core dumped

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try running /usr/bin/mail many times automatically, from a
	script. I can't repeat this easily but it happens pretty frequently.
>Fix:
	Unknown. I'm almost sure this is some sort of cruft from
	phkmalloc, though.
