Some months ago, I hacked some restricted-user code into Stevie, so I
and others could offer the editor to our BBS users. The patches were
well received, and BBStevie has spread around a bit.
Recently, though, a user in England has discovered a bug! (it's in the
original code, not my patches) If you hit '}' from command mode, Stevie
is supposed to search to the next paragraph. However, if there is no
next paragraph (such as if you are at EOF), Stevie will lock up. The
problem is in the file sentence.c, and the following patch will fix it.
(If you're interested in BBStevie, the full set of patches will be
posted to alt.bbs.waffle, as well as the MS-DOS executable)
