From: utzoo!decvax!duke!harpo!eagle!rdb!jes Newsgroups: net.unix-wizards Title: long messages are silently truncated Article-I.D.: rdb.112 Posted: Wed Jul 21 17:19:41 1982 Received: Sun Jul 25 06:03:35 1982 This is a problem with mail.c on PDP-11's. I found it on USG 4.0, but I suspect it may be found elsewhere. In function copylet(), the variable k is initialized to the size of the message. If a message is longer than 2^15 bytes, bad things will happen. The solution is to change the declaration of k from int to long. -- Jon Shopiro
