23.0.60; rmail failure

[root]

The problem i reported earlier may be related to the variable rmail-mode-map 
which is reported as undefines when I trace rmail-mode into rmail-mode-2 and to 
rmail-1 to the line
  (use-local-map rmail-mode-map)

As far as i can tell it has killed all local variables in rmail-mode-2 and 
called rmail-variables but that does not seem to goive me a rmail-mode-map

I woudl appreciate any assistance.  Unattended reading mu RMAIL file goves 97% 
CPU usage and a process that I have to kill rather forcably
