Failing to read new mail

[jpff]

Sometimes (about 50% of the time) when I read new mail into RMAIL I
get the error message that it could not convert to Babyl

Getting mail from /mnt/snout/home/jpff/mbox...
Converting to Babyl format...110
rmail-decode-region: Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil

It leavs a RMAILOSE.0 and that reads into the RMAIL without problem.
