Out of memory/bus error

1996-06-04 06:53:39
I am new to this mailing list, and also a new (or is that still wannabe?)
user of MHonArc, which I thought looked nice - and it still does, except
for the fact that it doesn't like my mail. Here goes...

Setup:
-----
MHonArc 1.2.2 being used on...

Sparcstation 1+ running SunOS 4.1.3 and Perl 5.000
Sparcstation 5 running Solaris 2.4 and Perl 5.001

The behaviour appears to be identical on both.

One problem:
-----------
When digestiong mail folders with large ugly messages (at, say 688242
bytes), MHonArc runs out of memory. It wanted to try to address this
with the -savemem option but...

Another problem:
---------------
All attemps to use command line options result in a core dump (Bus Error).
The program is last seen at:

main::NGetOpt(/usr/local/lib/perl5/newgetopt.pl:264):
264:                    eval ('$' . $pkg . '\'opt_' . $opt . " = \$arg;");

Now, is this mainly a MHonArc problem or a Perl problem? (I haven't tried
using Perl 4.0 yet).

So, I hardcoded my precious -savemen ( $SLOW = 1; ) in MHonArc but it
still runs out of memory. Bummer. 680k isn't that much is it?

Any solutions to any of the problems? I've had a look in the mailing
list archives but I didn't find these specific problems mentioned
anywhere. The command line options thing is not critical as I can
always get past them hacking the Perl code, but the memory contraints
or whatever it may be is worse.
