message crashes something

[Laura Conrad]

I received a message today with a large (about 1M)  pdf file attached.
When I clicked the middle mouse button on it,  I got an xemacs crash
message in the window from which xemacs was opened, although both gnus 
and xemacs stayed up, and there isn't a core file in my home
directory, or the directory in which the mail was saved.

"metamail -w" doesn't seem to have any trouble with the attachments.
I can email or provide web access to the original message if someone
wants to look at it.

The crash message says:

[root@serpent log]# 
Fatal error (1).
Your files have been auto-saved.
Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them.

Please report this bug by running the send-pr script included
with XEmacs, or selecting `Send Bug Report' from the help menu.
As a last resort send ordinary email to `crashes@xemacs.org'.
*MAKE SURE* to include as much configuration information as
possible; at the very least what OS and hardware you are running
on, and hopefully also what compiler and compiler options the
binary was compiled with, what options XEmacs was compiled with,
whether you are using a prebuilt binary from ftp.xemacs.org or
compiled XEmacs yourself for your system, etc.

If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace;
it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong.
To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result
of this crash (it's usually called `core' and is located in the
directory in which you started XEmacs, or maybe in your home
directory), and type
 gdb /usr/bin/xemacs core

then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up.
(If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX,
or XDB, or SDB.  A similar procedure should work for all of
these.  Ask your system administrator if you need more help.)

Lisp backtrace follows:

  # (unwind-protect ...)
  start-process-internal("*display*" #<buffer "*mm*"> "/bin/bash" "-c" "acroread /tmp/emm.5p5xG5/album-leaves-01.pdf")

To follow up, I don't have acroread installed, so this part isn't
going to "work", but it still shouldn't crash.
