This paper reports on a CO(1-0) survey for very cold circumstellar envelopes made with the SEST telescope. The sources were selected from the IRAS Point Source Catalog and are probably rapidly evolving between the asymptotic giant branch and planetary nebulae. Nine of them were detected as evolved stars, of which four have an early type optical counterpart, including two stars classified as Be. HD 101584, a high latitude F supergiant has a remarkably broad CO spectrum, similar to OH231.8 + 4.2, with a total velocity extent of about 350 km/s. It probably belongs to a binary system, which could provide the mechanism for the observed violent ejection.
