The From separator in mbox files is being lost

2003-01-17 01:01:06

I have a feeling this is an ancient bug, but it's back...

I am delivering email from fetchmail into procmail, and procmail is placing
the mail into files in my home directory.

Since I installed Red Hat 8.0, some mailbox files are getting corrupted: the
"^From " separator is getting lost.  For example:



                }
+               usleep(100000);
        }
 }
=20

        for akpm(_at_)localhost (single-drop); Thu, 16 Jan 2003 22:32:53 -0800

See?  No separator.  This only seems to happen with very large mailbox files,
and once it starts happening, all messages which are added to that file have
the same problem.

Versions:

Linux mnm 2.5.55 #1 SMP Fri Jan 10 00:54:48 PST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche)
procmail-3.22-8
fetchmail-6.2.1-1

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks.
