Perhaps... I'm not explicitly running two copies of sup, nor am I
running sup and another sup- tool at the same time. I'm just composing a
message.

I don't think so.

Nope.

If MIGHT be the first. It just happened again. I think that it only
happens when I am composing a message and, during a background poll for
new messages, sup finds one.

This might not even be the problem, but, it seems to me, that the editor
does not need to have sup's open files handles.
