Greetings everyone. I am new to this list.
I archive about 20 management-related discussion lists on my web site. I was
very pleased to discover Mhonarc and I appreciate the work Earl and others have
put into the program. I am using Mhonarc 1.2.3 under NEXTStep release 3.2,
running Perl 5.003.
I have set up a cron job to archive the discussion lists nightly, and am having
a consistent problem with segmentation faults. Consulted the FAQ and the
archives for this list but found no joy. As you can see from the attached log,
Mhonarc seems to crash at random when reading the MIME filter libraries. The
problem seems random-the program works fine on a particular list archive one
day and not the next. In the same cron job it works fine on some lists and not
others. I am very perplexed, as there seems to be no pattern.
It seems that others have had seg fault problems, but that they were related to
reading messages or running an older version of Perl. My problems seem more
connected, at least to this non-programmer, to the Mhonarc code.
I would appreciate any advice anyone could give me. Many thanks in advance.
