xemacs (21.4.5) seems to reliably crash when reading vm mail

Fatal error (11).
Unfortunately the crash produces a segmentation fault but no CORE
file, so I cannot provide a backtrace. It doesn't seem to matter
whether the characters are in the "To" field or the "CC" field.
Can you retry starting xemacs under gdb? Then you can get a backtrace
even without a core file.
What is your stacksize limit? see "umlimit -a". Try increasing it.
VM is probably using regexps to find the fields, the can use quite a
lot of stack.
