On a Linux system where I just upgraded from nmh-1.0.4 to nmh-1.1RC3, sending takes a long, long time (circa 30 seconds) from the time you type "send" at the whatnow prompt to the time you get a command prompt.
Yeah, I've noticed this one too.. :)
Support item 103005 (link above) includes a patch to sbr/lock_file.c which simply skips locking if the file is /dev/null.
OK, that idea I can live with - as long as we document that fact.
That's one solution... a more general solution might be to skip locking if permissions won't allow the lock file to be created.
Gaak. No. In *general*, failure to create the lock file should be a *fatal* error, because silently continuing would allow the collision of two processes over whatever resource is being locked.
