I've applied patch 5 to news 2.11, including the rejected inews patch
by hand. My system is basically V7 (Unisoft + Pixel) with the DBM
library. No flock(). SPOOLNEWS on. Here are a couple problems
I've noticed that didn't seem to be there before.
In SPOOLDIR there is a collection of .in$$ and .ar$$ files that haven't
gone away. Upon inspection, they all appear to be locally originated
articles, or articles within one hop.
Also in SPOOLDIR is a new file .rnews.lock.tmp. This is a 15 character
filename, which I shortened to .rnews.lock.tp. It also isn't going
away. I thought it might be a failed unlink() on the long name, but
changing the name didn't help.
I have had the rnews hang while unbatching on about three occasions, but
I haven't been able to figure out the circumstances for the sticking.
So I'll toss that into the pot and see what bubbles up.
