When rmail-msgend is returning 190 (i.e. when called by 
rmail-show-message called by rmail-redecode-body), rmail-message-vector 
itself seems to have markers at 1,183,190 instead of 1,183,1176 in it.

In rmail-redecode-body, perhaps suspiciously

                    (goto-char x-coding-header)
                    (delete-region (point)
                                   (save-excursion
                                     (beginning-of-line)
                                     (point)))
                    (insert "X-Coding-System: "
                            (symbol-name last-coding-system-used))
===>                (set-marker x-coding-header nil) 

x-coding-header happens to have a value #<marker at 190 in RMAIL>
