nmh-1.4: send/post failure
Reported by: | mdb@… | Owned by: | kenh@… |
---|---|---|---|
Priority: | Normal | Milestone: | |
Component: | ports | Version: | 2.0.3 |
Keywords: | Cc: | ||
Port: | nmh |
Description
The new nmh-1.4 port has problems doing a 'post' operation on my MBA running lion.
The bug with a fix was reported against nmh 1.4 here:
and this patch suggested with the problem report:
fixes my problem using post.
Please consider adding this patch to the client.c file.
To reproduce:
- 'port install nmh'
- edit the /opt/local/etc/mts.conf file to change the 'servers: localhost' line to your local smtp gateway like: 'servers: smtp.example.com' where smtp.example.com is listening for smtp submissions on port 25.
- Use the commands: 'install-mh' to create your nmh mail folder and .mh_profile properly.
- Use the 'comp' command to edit a new message to send somewhere.
- Save the file in the editor.
- At the 'what now?' prompt, use 'send -watch -verbose' and you will get an error like:
post(92684) malloc: *** error for object 0x100102a3a: pointer being freed was not allocated set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug send: message not delivered to anyone
To fix, update the Portfile to patch the nmh-1.4/sbr/client.c file with the patch given in the download.php URL given in this message.

Okay, with Mark's help I was able to reproduce this problem. I applied the patch from savannah, and it will be in the next release of nmh (which should be out soon). I believe this defect can be closed.

Hi. I replied to your bug report on savannah (and my apologies for missing that; I just discovered that I don't get email about those, I'm looking into it).
Short answer: I agree with part of that patch, but I'm not sure about the other part. I'd like to talk to you more about it. Either way, I would like to make sure this is fixed for the 1.5 release of nmh.
