I've seen identical panics when using nmh's spost command to send mail. Instant panic saying "negative ref cnt". This is using an NFS mounted home directory (containing the draft mail to be sent). Unfortunately, I didn't have time to investigate further, so I just switched over to using SMTP instead. I'll try again on Monday to see if it's still doing it for me. -- When I said "we", officer, I was referring to myself, the four young ladies, and, of course, the goat.
