Newsgroups: net.news,net.news.group Cc: cs!glasgow.UUCP!days References: <2242@ukma.UUCP> Status: RO I see two strange parts in the header. First is the To: line. Notice the address it has for it. It looks a little like his news reader used the Path: line for my address then it got munged somewhere along the way. The other strange part is the incorrect ordering of host names in the From: line. But that shouldn't cause a problem, it'd just cause the mail to not be delivered (unless there is a days at mcvax). BTW, the core dump doesn't give much useful. Adb tells me a stack trace of something like "?() 8a74". Repeat-by: Log in onto my account, get into mail, and type 'r 34'. :-) -- David Herron, ukma!david@ANL-MCS.ARPA, cbosgd!ukma!david (Soon -- david@UKMA.BITNET, and (hopefully) david@ukma.csnet) Hackin's in me blood!

Mail isn't accustomed to seeing such long strings on the right-hand side of an '@'. Expand optim.netlook.nbuf to be BUFSIZ characters long instead of 20, so that the saved registers in your stack frame don't get trashed when a long address is presented to netlook().
