Description edward 1995-04-19 08:50:01 UTC 
	The line-count field in mail (m_lines field in struct message,
	/usr/src/usr.bin/mail/defs.h), is a short, which overflows
	not infrequently these days.

Fix: 

I fixed it in 4.4 Lite, though somewhat late, which probably
	explains why it's not in FreeBSD 2.0.
	The fixed source is available on vangogh.CS.Berkeley.EDU.
How-To-Repeat: 
	jot 32768 | mail `whoami`
	mail
	h
	shows
