I remade world with -O -pipe and the error with repl went away. This
was suggested by phk_at_. Seems that gcc42 is optimizing just a little
bit too much away with -O2.

What I now see is that exmh doesn't send out my mails, although it goes
through all the motions (I see network activity). Now I'm using
sylpheed, although I'd much prefer exmh.
