Subject: Error in pine under X

Here's the situation:

 1. Viewing empty INBOX
 2. Press <tab> to get new messages
 3. One new message; appears a little bit "lower" on-screen than it should
 4. Press <dnarrow> to look it and...
 5. Pine dies with 'Problem detected: "Bad msgno 0 in mail_elt, nmsgs = 
1".'

The reason I gave it the subject shown above is because I did a bit of
searching in the pine-info archive and found that a similar problem was
also shown in a MUCH earlier version of pine with a completely different
OS, WM, Terminal Emulator, and version of pine (old:FreeBSD 2.2.7,
unknown, unknown, 4.03; mine:Linux 2.2.14 [Red Hat 6.2], Enlightment
0.16.3, Gnome Terminal 1.0.55, 4.21). The only things common between the
two is the X server (old: XFree86 unknown; mine:XFree86 3.3.6), and the
architecture (x86). It also doesn't happen on the console. Is this
duplicatable by anyone else? If so, is it fixable?

FYI, here are the archive references:

http://www.washington.edu/pine/pine-info/1998.09/msg00077.html
http://www.washington.edu/pine/pine-info/1998.09/msg00084.html
http://www.washington.edu/pine/pine-info/1998.09/msg00085.html
http://www.washington.edu/pine/pine-info/1998.09/msg00095.html

And no, it was having the problem even with
"quell-folder-internal-msg" off; it was off by default.

I've had this problem before, I do not know what it is, the funniest thing
I see, I think,  is the title in the top that says "Msg -1 of 1". I have
submitted this bug report to the pine team before, however I've never had
the .pine-debug files available for it, maybe you do and some insight may
be gotten from them

I got this one at debug level 9. Good enough?
