Try handling a mail to /bin/rmail that has a (uucp) "From " line like:
>From @abc-de-fg.arpa:@hij-klm-nopqr:user%stu-vwx-yzabc at def-gh-ij.ARPA...etc.
and watch it dump core.
The fix is easy: the complete user part is supposed to fit in an array
(ufrom) that's only 64 bytes long. Increase that to a more reasonable
length, e.g. BUFSIZ.
