Hi Laura,
/usr/bin/mh/repl -group -format

I was replying to somebody and got:
*** Error in `/usr/bin/mh/repl': free(): invalid pointer: 0x08080547 ***
/u/lac/bin/ra: line 2: 5931 Aborted /usr/bin/mh/repl -group -format
I get similar looking malloc corruptions with nmh 1.6-3 on Arch Linux
when mhshow(1)ing the minority of spam emails. It doesn't happen with
the git version.
I'm using debian linux, so perhaps the problem is upstream of arch linux?
repl -version says:
repl -- nmh-1.6 [compiled on binet at Sun Jul 6 03:51:09 UTC 2014]
memory and disk tests around here haven't found a problem.
But I expected to find my draft of the message still around so that I
could resend it. Nope. All gone. Nothing there.
Did repl start an editor, e.g. vi?
yes. emacs.
What does `mhparam draft-folder' give?
drafts (which seems to be working just fine -- drafts are indeed being created
here)
Did repl die after you quit the editor and before the whatnow(1)
prompt?
Definitely after I quit the editor.
I think _after_ the whatnow(1) prompt, as well, but it has long since
scrolled away. I don't remember the shell complaing about receiving an
unwanted 'send', so I think that whatnow received it.
The mail did not go out to the person I was replying to, and the
copy cc'd to me also did not arrive.
Laura
Cheers, Ralph.
