27.0.50; rmail-get-new-mail fails |

in case of reading a mail box on a nfs-mounted disk
There are two problems; first there are a number of calls to
string-match and the like with argument proto which is nil. This
crashes
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
string-match("^\\(imap\\|pop\\)s?$" nil nil)

but still fails. It reports it is reading the mailbox and there is a
long delay before it returns with a blank buffer looking at RMAIL file
and not reading the mail

I've now installed the change around line 2075, and I'm closing the
bug.
