Hi all, On some of our Apollos 3500 [10.1, 10.2] rn starts normally by listing unread newsgroups but when I tried to read an article it clears the screen and gives the following message. Caught a SIGSEGV-- .newsrc restored IOT trap Now this happens only on the server nodes [ Authorized Area ] Anybody has experienced this problem??? Any suggestions welcome, I will summarize for the net. Thanks --- Paul Gill Analyst, Concordia University, Computer Science, 1455 De Maisonneuve Ouest, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3G 1M8 email: paul@concour.cs.concordia.ca Phone:(514)-848-3035

Organization: caen Keywords: I used to see that error when I tried rn in an Aegis shell. I figured it was a case of "not quite like UNIX yet..." and left it there. Are you running rn in the C-shell or in Aegis?

Here is the answer: From: Jinfu Chen <chen@digital.sps.mot.com>
It fixes the problem for 10.1 and 10.2
->The problem you have is fixed in rn patch 41. You can request rn patches
->41-44 from sob@lib.tmc.edu where Stan Barber is the 'official' rn patche
->keeper now.
->
->Basically the problem is in art.c line 107 (or around that):
->
-> if (filestat.st_mode & S_IFMT != S_IFREG)
->
->change this to:
->
-> if ((filestat.st_mode & S_IFMT) != S_IFREG)
->
->will fix the problem you have.
->
Well thank you Jinfu. Your help is appreciated.
