Hi! Maybe I am dumb, but so what - I have a strange problem with software on Ultrix 4.0. Today I tried mail2news and it core'd. First time I tracked it to localtime(). I used gmtime instead and it worked. Now: The program is started by sendmail (via alias test-l: | mail2news <someparas> (Yes, I tried every combination of "'s and |'s and sh -c etc.). When the mail2news is started, it dumps core. The funny thing is, it dumps core at the very first line of c-commands in the source after the declarations in main(). Checked it with dbx, it was the first line after the declarations. I commented the first line of the source out and it cored at the next instruction. Thats a pity, You can't even use printf's for debugging then :( Its the second time I encounterd this problem, the first time it was on the same machine, running nntpd 1.5.11 from inetd. My question: WHY ? Thanks in advance, Kurt -- PI at the User Help Desk Comp.Center U of Stuttgart, FRG 29 Years to go !
