I'm running MH.6 on a 4.2bsd system. When are holes in the msg list (because rmm'd msgs), scan would sometimes complain about not being able to open one of these nonexistant msgs. In one case, "folder -pack" complained and quit after trying to compact the msg list. Below is the fix to sbr/m_gmsg.c ============================================================================= *** /tmp/,RCSt1004632 Fri Jan 10 15:44:19 1986 (old) --- /tmp/,RCSt2004632 Fri Jan 10 15:44:22 1986 (new) *************** *** 186,191 if (mp -> msgstats < 0) adios (NULLCP, "m_gmsg() botch -- you lose big"); #endif MTR for (tail = head; tail < rover; tail++) mp -> msgstats[tail -> msgno] = tail -> stats; m_getatr (mp); --- 186,198 ----- if (mp -> msgstats < 0) adios (NULLCP, "m_gmsg() botch -- you lose big"); #endif MTR + + /* clear msgstats since realloc() doesn't clear the memory it + allocates. without this, some nonexistant msgno's have valid + looking msgstats. */ + for (i=0;i<mp->hghmsg;++i) + mp->msgstats[i] = 0; + for (tail = head; tail < rover; tail++) mp -> msgstats[tail -> msgno] = tail -> stats; m_getatr (mp); Tim Becker. ..!{seismo,allegra,decvax}!rochester!ccice5!tim
