something is wrong with latest beta

did a cvs a hour or so ago.... now when i start vm, my buffer is truncated. I won't guarantee it but i think it is truncatating at the first message to send it into the "buffer to large to font lock" situation. the last msg i see is dated march 10 or so.... when i know for a fact there are messages there which have arrived today. i tried compiling with out widgets bug still get the same error...... i think it's been roughtly a week or so since i updated at tried running with changes...... if that helps. i realize this is a crappy erro message but i have been up way too long.......... jeff
