Public bug reported:
The mail command (/usr/bin/mail.mailutils) crashes (core dump) when temp
directory is not available.
Two simple tests below.
Works:
# echo "hello world" | mail -s "Testing testing" em...@domain.com
Crashes (core dump):
# echo "hello world" | TMPDIR=/doesnotexist mail -s "Testing testing"
em...@domain.com
Shouldn't it show a warning/error instead of crashing?
