- Patch #: 2
- Priority: LOW
- Subject: KILL file can set art < absfirst, causing "(-1 more)" error
- >From: lwall@sdcrdcf.UUCP (Larry Wall)
-
- Description:
- If a newsgroup with a KILL file is left unread for a long time,
- the last article processed by the KILL file, as recorded by the
- THRU line in the KILL file, can become less than the minimum article
- in the newsgroup due to article expiration. Unfortunately, there
- was no check to see if this had happened, so it was possible for
- rn to try to junk articles without valid bits in the bitmap.
- This causes rn to think it has junked more articles than it really
- has, causing the count of unread articles to become incorrect.
-
- Fix: From rn, say "| patch -d DIR", where DIR is your rn source directory.
- Outside of rn, say "cd DIR; patch <thisarticle". If you don't have
- the patch program, apply the following by hand, or get patch.
-
- Warning: this patch is not reversed. If the patch program says
- it is, then this patch has already been applied, and you should
- not apply it again.
-
- If patch indicates that patchlevel is the wrong version, you may need
- to apply one or more previous patches, or the patch may already
- have been applied. See the patchlevel file to find out what has or
- has not been applied. In any event, don't continue with the patch.
