I use open together with dynamic-vc to implement a sort of terminal-based full-screen windowing system (as I can't use X). I do something like $ open -s -- (shortened by a shell script :-) ). In this case it's pine with no arguments. I've been using this for over a year, and run almost everything I use in this fashion. For all of that time, I've been using a previous version of pine (I think it was 3.91 or something ...) with no problem.

Bug#4475: Pine dies unexpectedly
Package: pine Version: 3.94-2 Pine, ever since I upgraded to this version, has crashed on me frequently. It seems to happen if I fail to hit a key for a while, as if it's some sort of timeout, but that's not the only time it does it. No coredump, and no message saying "Pine terminating" or anything like that. I've been running pine with the `open' command to put it in a fresh VC; I haven't observed this behaviour when running it from an ordinary shell, so maybe it doesn't like being a session leader. Also, I tried running it under strace, but it wouldn't crash! - that seems to confirm this conclusion. This is *very* annoying ...
