Segmentation Fault on Cygwin

[d.henman]

Re: June 12, 2008 successful build of fresh cvs emacs 2.60 source code on 
cygwin:


Problem:  Segmentation Fault 

This problem occurrs after the following procedures where taken.

M-x mh-rmail        # MH-E is invoked (the mail list comes up fine)
<CR>                # Enter key hit to view a msg
..... crash!


Here is a backtrace I made:

It looks like #4 below is getting a null pointer and may be causing this, but I 
am not familiar with the code.
