Hi,

Since this message thread was hijacked by someone else,
who deleted my entire message and asked a totally
different one (which was answered) ansd no one answered
my original question...

I'll try again....

Hi,

A while ago I posted about procmail dumping core on long lines
of "To:" (50, 100 addressees). Thanks to everyone who responded.

It was suggested that the regexp libs were the problem, so I 
recompiled with gcc (I'm using BSDI BSD/OS 2.1). That seems
to have extended the limit a bit, but I don't think addressed the
real problem.

I recently recompiled with -g and without -s (that means twice :)
and got this for a core stack trace: (see below)

I don't know but it doesn't look like regexp problems to me.

Is this a known problem?

I'm getting repeated lockfile gripes in my log, plus these letters
never get delivered (no loss there) and continually cause core
dumps for a week before they bounce. I love procmail but must 
fix this problem as the sysadmins don't like this behaviour.

Thanks,
Ken.
