Thanks for reporting.  I have copied the bug report to the new project
for vm, which is at launchpad.net/vm.  A similar problem was reported in
gnu.emacs.vm.info newsgroup and it was also mentioned that the error
does not arise if you use the keyboard command C-c C-a for attaching
files.  That is a temporary workaround.  -- Uday

Bug description:
when i do 'attach file' (from the mouse popup menu) AND my login directory has like 500 files, i receive an 'arith overflow' (or is it 'arith error' ?) error, within the 'vm-show-list' function.  error went away when i reduced my login dir to less than 300 files.
