[PATCH] Handle out of disk space situations more gracefully

1998-07-31 14:12:41
Hello Richard,

First of all, I would like to thank you for all the hard work you put in 
nmh.

Attached is another patch by Peter Maydell 
<pmaydell(_at_)chiark(_dot_)greenend(_dot_)org(_dot_)uk>.
This patch was originally written for the Debian version of MH 6.8.4.  I
have modified it slightly for nmh 0.28-pre2.

Without this patch, inc silently fails in some out of disk space 
situations.  It appears to have been successful, yet the created messages 
are empty, and so is the mail spool.  This patch prevents that.  It still 
creates empty messages, but leaves the mail spool intact.

In addition, the patch claims to clean up the privilege handling code; this 
is how I received it.

Have you taken a look at the previous patch I sent (regarding segmentation 
faults when .mh_profile doesn't end in a newline)?

Thanks for your cooperation.

Greetings,

Ruud de Rooij
Maintainer of the Debian GNU/Linux nmh package.
