There is a problem with the distributed unbnews.c (in 2.10.1) This problem only affects machines where (sizeof int) != (sizeof long) The manifestation is that any LONG article (size > 32767) will cause unbnews to bomb out. I discovered this bug while working on a batched news spooler (the pipe to unbnews kept vanishing). *** unbnews.c.B Tue May 1 10:24:17 1984 --- unbnews.c Tue Oct 2 21:09:42 1984 *************** *** 42,45 char line[80]; long bytes = 0; if( fgets(line, sizeof(line), fp)==NULL ) --- 42,46 ----- char line[80]; long bytes = 0; + long atol(); if( fgets(line, sizeof(line), fp)==NULL ) *************** *** 47,51 if( line[0]=='#' && line[1]=='!' ) ! sscanf(line, "#! %s %d", command, &bytes); else bytes = atoi(line); --- 48,52 ----- if( line[0]=='#' && line[1]=='!' ) ! sscanf(line, "#! %s %D", command, &bytes); else bytes = atol(line); *************** *** 49,53 sscanf(line, "#! %s %d", command, &bytes); else ! bytes = atoi(line); return(bytes); --- 50,54 ----- sscanf(line, "#! %s %D", command, &bytes); else ! bytes = atol(line); return(bytes); -- Stephen C.
