Feeling an irresistable urge to FTP another megabyte of data for no particular reason, I have uploaded another Pine binary package (Pine, Pico, imapd, ipopxd, man pages) for SCO Unix to soils.agron.iastate.edu in the /pub/incoming directory. If they're not tired of hearing from me yet, this package will probably be moved into /pub/sco/unix/pine someday. The file is called "pine3.90.dist.sco.fix.tar.gz". Thanks very much to the Pine Development Team and especially to Mark Crispin, for fixing a core-dump bug I found in the MMDF handling code which occurs only under very limited circumstances (a message has to start within a handful of bytes of the chunk boundary - a 1 in 2000 chance, and even then only if your mailbox is larger than one chunk). Since two of my users with huge mailboxes found this problem out, I made haste to make new binaries for SCO lest other people should have it as well. You will want to re-download the code, because even if you haven't seen the bug yet, it will bite you some day years from now when you've forgotten where you got your code. If you can't wait for the official patches to make their way out into the real work (check ftp.cac.washington.edc if you're unsure), you can send me mail, and I'll mail them to you. Gunther Anderson
