We've also been experiencing crashes which can be induced at will with pine.
(This is an old copy compiled before upgrading to 1.0)

(On our machine)
Enter pine
Quit pine
Enter pine
CRASH! (guaranteed or your money back!)

Needless to say I've renamed pine and taken execute permissions off of it.

Someone else is recompiling it under 1.0. I'll report on that version when
it's ready. But this example seems to show that it isn't sendmail, since
this happens even without opening a folder.

The drive also continues to run for ~30sec after quitting pine. (As long as
you don't run it again :-) ) There's no other activity on the system to cause
it. The system has been up ~5 days now.

'evilpine' is available (for testing purposes) on ftp.web.net in /pub.
