I checked the message log, and those messages have been deleted. When
this happens I again, I'll take a look.
However, according the the docstring for vm-flush-interval (currently
set to 90), it's supposed to terminate the flush when I type
something. This doesn't seem to be happening.

I'm not sure. I usually only see these when I run VM and GNUS
together. I do know, though, that, on occasion, there are no GC
messages in the echo area and no GC cursor, but I'm pretty sure GC is
happening because I can here the disk grinding and I'm not doing
anything else. I have large e-mail buffers and too little
memory. :-(
I'll watch out more carefully for these things next time.
