Subject: Bug producing multiple pines?

From: [email-masked] (Ted Hardie)

We recently had a situation in which a user of pine got blown out of
a composition buffer; he saw but did not capture a bug number/message
and then did a ps, which showed 4 spare copies of pine running.   Eventually
the box he was on hung because there was not available memory to fork
new processes (this is on a Sparc running 4.1.3).

Has anyone seen anything like this before, or is there a known workaround
for this problem.

My thanks for any help you can give,
