Yes - we had the same problem here: it is not a fault with MH!
No names, but the ruserpass() function that MH uses, mainly for
POP fetching of usernames and passwords, was silently removed
from the ULTRIX 4.0+ libc.a...

The library has been fixed. I'm not sure what you have to do
to get this, though... I guess that you get in touch with your
local friendly support center?

C: How do they know the load limit on bridges, Dad?
D: They drive bigger and bigger trucks over the bridge
   until it breaks.
   Then they weigh the last truck and rebuild the bridge.
C: Oh. I should've guessed.
M: Dear, if you don't know the answer, just tell him.
