Package: xemacs21-basesupport
Version: 2005.03.07-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes serious data loss

Hi, there is few I can report. I just installed xemacs21-gnome-mule,
typed M-x vm RET, then CPU load went up to 100%. When I looked what was
happening to my mail I got the creeps: While eating all CPU time,
XEmacs/VM would truncate each mbox file it could get hold of to zero
bytes. 

Fortunately I had a backup of this morning. However, when after 20
minutes or so I finally killed XEmacs, I had lost one day's mail. This
should not happen, by any means.. 

There seem to be no backups created by VM around anywhere, as far as I
see.

A mailer couldn't behave worse than VM just did. You should probably
remove it from the package.
