It looks as if it has decided that the form is a quartic, but then
later finds that the x^2 term has a zero coefficient.  It looks as if
I fail to deal with sqrts of perfect squares; I assume that the form
sqrt(x^2) has been simplified before it gets to this code.  At one
level this is a simplification failure, or I could accept that it
happens and treat degenerate cases.  A very simple paliative would be
to add a line "if null numr a then return nil" in look_for_quad, after
the line commented "Re-centre".  The integral then fails, but does not
crash.  I will give it a little more thought.

I believe this indicates you have processed the message with the
add-on rmime.el at some point. This should be fixed, as of 2009-02-07,
provided that rmime.el is available when you run unrmail.
