[news.software.anu-news] Bug fix for OPEN/MAIL

glassmann@ccavax.camb.com (01/03/90)

We were getting error code 7E829A and a register dump whenever a non privileged
user tried to do OPEN/MAIL.  The fix is to turn on sysprv at the appropriate
place.  In V5.9C the change is:

************
File NEWS_VERSION:[NEWS_SRC]NEWSVMSMAIL.C;3
  158       sysprv ();
  159       cksts(mail$mailfile_begin(&context,null_list,null_list));
  160       cksts(mail$mailfile_open(&context,null_list,mfo_list));
  161       nosysprv ();
  162       mailfile_open = 1;
******
File NEWS_VERSION:[NEWS_SRC]NEWSVMSMAIL.OLD;1
  158       cksts(mail$mailfile_begin(&context,null_list,null_list));
  159       cksts(mail$mailfile_open(&context,null_list,mfo_list));
  160       mailfile_open = 1;
