procmail 3.11pre5 changes

1997-04-04 11:05:00

For those using 3.11pre4 who wonder what has changed in pre5, here's
the new entries in the HISTORY file:

Changes to procmail:
    - Cater for a race condition that occurs if two procmails
      try to create an empty system mailbox (bogus BOGUS.* files)
    - SysV autoforwarding mailboxes didn't work, regression bug in
      v3.10
    - Autocreating the last dirmember of the spooldir didn't
      (always?) work due to the trailing /
    - Kernel lockf() method doesn't change the position of the
      filepointer anymore (results in more accurate lockingtests)
    - Multiple directory folders are assigned to LASTFOLDER
    - Don't strip trailing \n in a $MATCH
    - Refuse to open directories for INCLUDERC files
    - Syslog failed -o attempts

Changes to formail:
    - Skip leading spaces when checking for duplicates (will break
      checks with old id-databases)

Other changes:
    Worked around an nroff-coredumping problem with IRIX
    Corrected the last(?) "make -n" glitch
    Fixed library detection loop for some Solaris 2.[3-5] setups
    Changes to procmail and lockfile: use the authenticate library
       for easier integration custom authentication and mailbox
       locations
