I see two strange parts in the header. First is the To: line. Notice
the address it has for it. It looks a little like his news reader used
the Path: line for my address then it got munged somewhere along the
way.
The other strange part is the incorrect ordering of host names in the
From: line. But that shouldn't cause a problem, it'd just cause the
mail to not be delivered (unless there is a days at mcvax).
BTW, the core dump doesn't give much useful. Adb tells me a stack
trace of something like "?() 8a74".
Repeat-by: Log in onto my account, get into mail, and type 'r 34'. :-)
