...oh.  Hunh.  Right you are.  I didn't know that.  ("You mean dumping 
core is the /desired/ behavior?!")  It would be nice if the error 
message was a little bit more informative (mutt's response is "Caught 
signal 3...  Exiting."), but the behavior itself is clearly not a bug.

Thanks for the response.

- Kevin
