Hi all,
I don't know what the sys admin did to our system, but it seems I get
repeatedly stuck sending, receiving and/or replying mail :)
Current problem has something to do with locking, as it seems: saving
a message to a mailbox, or sending a new message (which will also be
saved) results in a 'hang' of mutt.
truss -f (==strace on Linux) ends with:
15898: utime("/user/nijlunsing/Mail/sent-mail-1999-10", 0xEFFFCF18) = 0
15898: open("/user/nijlunsing/Mail/sent-mail-1999-10", O_WRONLY|O_APPEND|O_CREAT,
0666) = 4
15898: llseek(4, 0, SEEK_END) = 2344752
15895: waitid(P_ALL, 0, 0xEFFFE158, WEXITED|WTRAPPED) (sleeping...)
15898: fcntl(4, F_SETLK, 0xEFFFCF80) (sleeping...)
...and that last fcntl sleeps forever: it does not react to ^C, ^Z or
anything else. Only kill -9 gets it back to the command prompt.
All this is on a Solaris machine, where all file systems are mounted by NFS.
Is this a mutt problem? Or a Solaris problem? Or something else? How
can I change this behaviour?
Regards,
Rutger.
