The problem with using both pine and emacs at once is that the emacs 
change-to-other-buffer key sequence sends your email through pine. :-/

Anyway, as I was saying, the restart-pc points to a 
%close-catch-unwind-protect. This same instruction is reached through 
the normal execution of the function.

After the %close-catch-unwind-protect, there is a LONG-PUSHJ, and then a 
%unwind-protect-continue.

My question is, what exactly do %close-catch-unwind-protect and 
%unwind-protect-continue do? SSDN2 doesn't explain 
%unwind-protect-continue or %unwind-protect-cleanup at all...
