Ever since i patched my Cnews to 15-Dec-1990 my log file is lacking a newline at the end of all articles that are *not* being forwarded to another site. If the article is being forwarded, the system name is appended to the end of the line and all looks normal, but otherwise i get one *very* long line in my log file. Is this a bug or did i screw something up? For example, forwarded article: Mar 22 09:18:35.000 pwcs + <1991Mar20.070141.19740@athena.mit.edu> nightowl terminal article: Mar 22 09:18:35.000 pwcs + <1991Mar20.070141.19740@athena.mit.edu> Mar 22 0\ 9:18:35.000 pwcs + <1991Mar20.070141.19740@athena.mit.edu> Mar 22 09:18:35.\ 000 pwcs + <1991Mar20.070141.19740@athena.mit.edu> .... etc (i just replicated a single log line for the example) derek -- Derek "Tigger" Terveer det@hawkmoon.MN.ORG -- U of MN Women's Lax I am the way and the truth and the light, I know all the answers; don't need your advice. -- "I am the way and the truth and the light" -- The Legendary Pink Dots

Unless there was a sitename for forwarding after the message id of the log file line, then no newline appeared, and the log file looked very funny indeed. I do not currently have the problem, and can not recall what fixed it. I simply wanted to state that I have also seen this behavior. Neal

Thank you, thank you! I don't feel like a compleat (sic) idiot now! My problem disappeared after I 1) recompiled and reinstalled the original version of Cnews that I had, 2) decreased my ULIMIT to a (supposedly) legal setting (6MB), and 3) installed all of the patches up to, but not including the 1991 patches, and compiled and installed. I don't know which of the above affected the problem since they were all done at essentially the same time. But i suffer no more from that silly little problem. -- Derek "Tigger" Terveer det@hawkmoon.MN.ORG -- U of MN Women's Lax I am the way and the truth and the light, I know all the answers; don't need your advice. -- "I am the way and the truth and the light" -- The Legendary Pink Dots
