[news.software.b] CNews on SysV Problem

drubin@prism.poly.edu (Dave Rubin) (04/12/91)

I am running (or attempting to run) CNews on an AT&T 3B2/500 System V Rel 3.2.1
and have a problem with the expire program dumping core halfway through the
process.  I have not looked into it in much detail, but also noticed the same
problem when running mkhistory, and the problem appears to be related to
the histinfo program, possibly the fgetmfs function.

Before I go crazy looking for the problem, I was wondering if there are known
problems of this nature with running CNews on System V 3.2, or on a 3B2, and
if there are any known fixes to the problem.  Any other hints on what might
be causing the problem would also be appreciated.

Thanks... please respond via E-mail.
