- My MH was built with the OVERHEAD option and passes MHFD and MHCONTEXTFD
- to rmmproc. Since the real rmm called from rmmer has an open fd on the
- original .mh_profile, it doesn't bother to read $MH. The result is
- infinite recursion.
-
- One solution: Add "unset MHFD MHCONTEXTFD" to rmmer.
-
- Better(?) solution: Make MH programs obey $MH in spite of MHFD, etc.
