[comp.sys.amiga.datacomm] UUCP 1.08D Batchnews prob

john@bacchus.esa.oz.au (John Butcher) (02/12/91)

Ive finally got around to getting UUCP 1.08D up and running, but I regularly
( say 9/10th of the time ) get a crash when I try to run "batchnews" : The power
LED dies, the drive one comes on ( but does no real disk access ), and the
pointer freezes ( + the 1st time it happened, it stuffed up the validation
on dh0: ) : all in all, NOT GOOD :-( !!!

...Hold everything, I just had another crash, and got a guru 81 {0's} 9 :
Freed memory twice I believe ?
...Just did it AGAIN, same guru, validation got stuffed both times !!


Has anyone else had this sort of problem ?? : All I know is that the file
in "UUSPOOL:batch" is gone, but I dont know if it spools the article
( after a crash that is )

...I also now know that altho the UUSPOOL:batch/site file is removed, no files
make it into the spool directory.

Please, HELP !!

...Due to the fact I cant batchnews up with 1.08, Im mailing this to work, and
will post it from there, but Id appreciate it if E-mail replies ( if any )
could be sent to "bart@asgard..." ( see below )

Just in case it helps, , Im running an A500, normal everyday 20Mb A590 with 2Mb
installed ( total of 3Mb mem ), WB+KS 1.3

& Id consider this a major bug !! :-( &
