Error: RT::User::crit Unimplemented in RT::User

RT e-mailed the following error and the bounced message to me. Any idea
why this would happen? RT has been running fine for a couple of weeks
now.

RT server error. The RT server which handled your email did not behave as
expected. It said:
System error
