[fetchmail]segfault with bad idfile

2001-07-09 08:16:11
Hi,

when I start fetchmail as follows it segfaults:

  fetchmail -f fetchmailrc -i fetchmailrc

Yes, -i and -f have the same parameter. fetchmailrc looks like this
(probably anything that is no reasonable idfile will do):

  #kajhfasdfkjh
  poll pophost proto pop3 user pop password pop is pop here

I admit that this problem might occur very rarely, but it did on my
system due to a power failure and a filesystem putting some package list
into the idfile. Maybe a message like 'bad idfile' or alike would be
nice.

My linux is Debian/Sid/i386 with fetchmail-ssl 5.8.12-1.

Yours,

Alexander
