pine dumps core on exit

[Chris Metcalf]

The local mail files that you view with pine need to be on a filesystem
mounted with "--binary".  Otherwise when pine rewrites the headers, you
get DOS line termination, which ends up eating characters out of the
beginning of each message body (since pine seems to use a seek+rewrite
strategy for the header updates).  Evidently it notices after a while and
aborts, but by that time your messages have been chewed on a bit.  You can
force the file back to Unix line termination, fix your mount point, and
you should be all set.
