- Hello....
-
- I have spotted a bug (?) in my inc function on the SGI Indigo:
-
- version: MH 6.7.2 #27[UCI] (coulomb) of Tue Apr 28 22:21:23 EDT 1992
- options: [BIND] [MORE='"/usr/bin/pg"'] [SENDMTS] [SMTP] [SOCKETS]
- [SPRINTFTYPE=int] [SYS5]
-
- When the first line of the body is a blank line, an "inc" shoves a bogus
- character into the scan line reported, as well as the inc'd file in the
- user's maildrop (it was clean in /usr/mail/<user>). I popped into the
- debugger, and it appeared that the call to m_getfld() would return the
- state=BODY, and the tmpbuf (in .../uip/scansbr.c, line 163, in
- /* scan - main loop */ ) has a varied single ascii character in it, which
- finds its way into the scan report, as well as the inc'ed file.
-
- If the first line of the body is non-blank, then all goes as expected.
- I am hesitant to hack on m_getfld.c, especially in light of the comments
- at the top of the file.
-
- Question is: I am not alone; other SGI users reported this on comp.sys.sgi.
- What, if anything, can I do to fix/diagnose the problem ? Any help will be
- appreciated....
