Running mailx on HP9000/840, we had problems with segmentation faults.
This particular problem was with parsing errors in the mailrc file. An extra
space around an "=" was the problem in this case (*WE* were amused (:-))
Before that, another error was found to be *NOT* having an rc file (and
the necessary adjunct, an unreadable rc file. And yet another
was an accidental erasure of "sendmail.cf" which was restored. Mailx works
fine now, but is *VERY* touchy. Individual users can crash their copies
by not being careful in their .mailrc file. Fixes, reportedly, are in the
works...

Hope this helps...
