Hi, Bo;
 
> Hmm.. I'm using trace.
 
Interesting. I just squished a bug last night that was causing the log file
to not open under certain circumstances under Solaris, but I wouldn't think
that would affect Linux. The problem was that I was locking the file for
shared access, but it was write-only. This is illegal under fcntl(), but
should be okay under flock() which is what the Linux code uses. A test to
see if this is the problem under Linux would be to force sopen()
(unix/dosio.c?) to return the fd whether or not the lock succeeds.

Yes I did; they are incorporated into the CVS repository.

# cvs diff changedfile.c
 
BTW, your changes to echomail will be "removed" from the Maximus
sources shortly, in light of the comments I posted yesterday from sjd. You
will be able to re-enable them, however, by throwing -DNONCOMFORMANT_TOSSER
in the CPPFLAGS; your best bet is to do that in vars_local.mk; you can do a
"make build_debug" to verify what they are.
 
Cheers,
Wes
