A + single-character format would cause programs using this + function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on + the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array + when the format string was one character. This eventually + caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1 + in the array. + +Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh. + Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are + nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added + back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they + can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or + "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?" + + I've added a new file to the nmh tree called + ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the + mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries + to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the + ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for + versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at + . Also, it appears to me that there + are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs. + + I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is + based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format + and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was + loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to + HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "" and "" + tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite + doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that + some of the changes this file documents as having been made in + MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3 + and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff. + +Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Applied Eric Schnoebelen 's mhshowsbr.c patch + fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code: + + Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors + while attempting to process some MIME messages: + + (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string + exit 2 + + and: + + (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped) + + (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in + mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux().

I wrote that + if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP + exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's + new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop + turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user + complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work + like I thought his original patch did.
