Subject: more on RMAIL failure

Note this refers to 23.0.60 remade 30 mins ago from CVS
I did a find-file-literally to load ~/RMAIL and then loaded
lisp/mail/rmail.el and instrumented a number of functions.  The
function rmail-convert-file checks that it is already Babyl format and
then calls rmail-decode-babyl-format
That calls (detect-coding-region from to 'highest)
and at this point emacs goes quiet; no rotating cursor, no response to
^G and I killed the window.

The suggestion is that there is a malformat in my RMAIL file, but it
works perfectly in emacs22 (the system I am using here)

By the way, the error I have repeated many times that when picking up
new mail from two filing systems causes a format error is still
present.  Happened to me yesterday.  Will try to create a simple
scheme to illustrate

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.
