I recently installed nmh from a vendor package, on my home system. This
is SuSE 10.1.
% scan -version
scan -- nmh-1.1-RC4 [compiled on e52 at Tue May 2 07:43:00 UTC 2006]
Certain commands have long pauses before they do anything. In
particular, I notice this for "send" and for "whom".
Tell your vendor to rebuild the package with fcntl locking. nmh uses dot
locking by default, which is pretty brain dead. Here is the option they
should give configure:
--with-locking=fcntl
So the question becomes, is there a reason we shouldn't fix configure to
use fcntl locking by default, and only fall back to dot locking if fcntl
locking isn't available?
