In uuxqt, the size of the array prm is set to MAXFULLNAME. On typical systems this is about 100 characters. The other day I had some usenet mail pass through my system with an address bigger than that; uuxqt promptly dumped core. I didn't notice the problem until a day later; I wondered why I hadn't seen any news lately. The reason: the file with the large pathname occupied the first open slot in the spool directory so uuxqt always processed this file first. The fix is simple. Just increase the size of the prm array. The diff: 51c51 > char *cmdp, prm[BUFSIZ], *ptr; --- < char *cmdp, prm[MAXFULLNAME], *ptr; Lou Salkind cmcl2!salkind
