[comp.sources.bugs] mush bug in tool interface

mhb@ukfca1 (Mark Hanbury Brown) (10/07/87)

I've been using mush for a week or two now and the Suntool interface is
great! Apart from the following bug:

When I use the -Wi option (not documented, but a standard Suntool option
to start the program iconic), mush crashes (Illegal instruction) if there
is mail in the system mailbox. Of course the reason I want to do this is
so that mush comes up every time I start suntools by putting the command
in my .suntools file. I'm running Sun Unix 3.2.

Does anyone have a fix for this? I debugged it as far as finding that
Addstr is calling itself recursively ad infinitum because the message
window rect is all zeros, but got lost trying to trace the cause of this.
