[comp.sources.d] mush 6.2 problem w/ fix

nerd@percival.UUCP (Michael Galassi) (05/26/88)

I just installed the patches to mush which bring it to v6.2 and found
only one problem.  On line 1050 of file mail.c change 'FORTUNE' to
'DO_FORTUNE' and all seems OK.  My compiler (cc on a NS32032 running
bsd 4.2) barfed on this one, others aparently will just generate
incorrect code.  Hope this helps a little bit.

The bug with changing FORTUNE to DO_FORTUNE on line 1050 fixes a link
problem in Ultrix 2.2 as well - without the fix you get the message
"ld:mail.o: byte displacement overflow" - what a WEIRD message!
