Hello,
A long time ago, one of our users noticed his mailbox was making inc bad
with "Segmentation fault", on his Linux box.
We put this buggy mailbox on one side, and checked with each new nmh
release if the trouble was over.
With current version nmh-1.0.4, it still happens, on Linux boxes
(Linux 2.2.14 + Redhat 6.1). On the other hand, no trouble on Solaris
platforms was ever seen.
As this user no longer minds with making his mailbox available, we can
send it to you or leave somewhere if necessary.
Below some information:
# inc -version
inc -- nmh-1.0.4 [compiled on xxxxx at Wed Jul 19 15:02:15 MEST 2000]
# strace -f inc +Tmp -file /u/mailhost/var/mail/user.coredumped -notruncate
