[comp.windows.open-look] MailTool problem

I've noticed a rather nasty problem with MailTool and wondered if anyone else had come across it.  I have a Sun 4/110, SunOS 4.0.3.

When running the MIT X11R4.18 server with the olwm & mailtool that came with the OpenWindows 2.0 tape, I noticed that deleting the last New message in my inbox causes MailTool to dump core and then I get bumped right back to the console (i.e. the Server crashes).  In addition, my keyboard then gets screwed up (hitting any key causes large amounts of garbage characters to appear on the screen) and I end up having to reboot my machine.

This problem does not occur when running Sun's X11/News server.

Anybody else had this problem?
