Debugger entered--entering a function:
* call-process("/usr/bin/movemail" nil #<buffer *temp*<2>> nil "--version")
rmail-probe("/usr/bin/movemail")
byte-code("Æ \nC#ÇF
!>

!=
ÎÏ\"))\fA
rmail-autodetect()
rmail-movemail-variant-p(mailutils)
rmail-insert-inbox-text(("/var/mail/eddy") t)
rmail-get-new-mail()
rmail()
call-interactively(rmail)
execute-extended-command(nil)
call-interactively(execute-extended-command)
</buffer>
When I invoke movemail --version manually, I get
movemail (GNU Mailutils 1.1)
After a while I guessed to type c to make the debugger continue, which
seems to be what it did, and it hit the break-point again:
<buffer name="*Backtrace*">
Debugger entered--returning value: 0
call-process("/usr/bin/movemail" nil #<buffer *temp*<2>> nil "--version")
rmail-probe("/usr/bin/movemail")
byte-code("Æ \nC#ÇF
!>
!>
!=
ÎÏ\"))\fA
rmail-autodetect()
rmail-movemail-variant-p(mailutils)
rmail-insert-inbox-text(("/var/mail/eddy") t)
rmail-get-new-mail()
rmail()
call-interactively(rmail)
execute-extended-command(nil)
call-interactively(execute-extended-command)
</buffer>
and then c again:
<buffer name="*Backtrace*">
Debugger entered--entering a function:
* call-process("/usr/lib/emacs/22.1/i486-linux-gnu/movemail" nil #<buffer

apply(call-process ("/usr/lib/emacs/22.1/i486-linux-gnu/movemail" nil

rmail-insert-inbox-text(("/var/mail/eddy") t)
rmail-get-new-mail()
rmail()
call-interactively(rmail)
execute-extended-command(nil)
call-interactively(execute-extended-command)
</buffer>
and again:
<buffer name="*Backtrace*">

rmail-get-new-mail()
rmail()
call-interactively(rmail)

after which I got the error,
