One of our HPUX sites has this problem also. Pine locked up on me with an 
18K message. You have to kill the Pine process to recover. Right? Did you
ever get an answer to your post?

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I've been out of town.  

I did get a response, it apparantely is a problem with the sendmail that
ships with HP-UX.  It was recommended that I try the pine 3.91 sendmail
string (which didn't help), then try upgrading sendmail.  I've tried
upgrading sendmail on two different HP-UX 9 systems (both 300 series) and
had slightly different results - both however had unacceptable problems
so for now I'll have to either live with the problem or go back to 3.91.

Someone on the HP Admin's mailing list is also having a problem, when they
summarize their findings I'll let ya know if it's any different.

Vince.
