- OK, for what it's worth, I also irregularly get the "mailbox: Error 0"
- in my console window.
-
- And it's all running on a 4D35TG with IRIX 4.0.5 and is fired up from
- my ".sgisession" using the following:
-
- /usr/sbin/mailbox -L 41 -M 74 -S MIKE -m "/usr/sbin/winterm -f
- -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--20-140-100-100-m-110-iso8859-1 -t MikeMail -c
- /usr/sbin/Mail"
-
- What is really happening here SGI? Not one of the biggies as bugs go, but why
- is it happening?
