Bug report: procmail hangs on large messages.
Hi, I have a problem with cygwin and procmail. If messages exceed a certain size, procmail just hangs, eating 100% cpu without doing anything. I've been trying to debug this further, but it just hangs, even with an empty .procmailrc file. Funny enough if I run procmail from within "strace" it runs fine, even with larger messages. I'm at a loss how provide you with more info about this problem. I binary-searched for the cutoff-point: Does not work: 8573458 bytes. Does work: 8573457 bytes. that is hex 0x82D212, nothing that i recognize... It appears to depend on total filesize independant of the headers to body ratio. Please help. CU, Sec P.S.: procmail -v says its: procmail v3.22 2001/09/10 cygwin says its procmail-3.22-10 -- Ok, we're making progress.
