This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org. Please check that the From: line contains a valid email address. After a delay of up to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address. Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators for other languages. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and the precise symptoms of the bug. If you can, give a recipe starting from `emacs -Q': Sorry, I can't give a recipe, but this happens about twice a day since I use prerelease 24.0.96. The situation is always the same: I open a VM folder (VM = ViewMail), or I refresh an already opened one. VM starts downloading messages from my IMAP server, annoucing its progress in the minibuffer. And then Emacs crashes before VM as finished downloading and displaying the new messages. As an attachment I send the log file produces by Apple's CrashReporter in MacOS X.
