#5 Bus error when setting antispamdomain directive

[splorp]

I’m been playing with the MacPorts version of the hypermail 2.3.0 release. I have discovered that assigning any value to the antispamdomain directive (quoted, unquoted, whatever) results in a bus error via stdout. This error did not occur with the 2.2.0 release.

Please let me know if there is any additional information you require.

Hi, could you try applying the following patch and see if it fixes your problem? Thanks.
(I would have attached the file if I knew how to do that!)

patch to fix the bus dump

[splorp]

Thanks for the patch. I’ve applied this manually, but discovered that the MacPorts build is not applying other related patches to files within subdirectories (such as src/). I need to manually apply the remaining MacPorts patches to a clean copy of the 2.3.0 source and will report back.

I've built hypermail 2.3.0 (w/patch.diff applied) & pcre 8.0.0 from scratch for Mac OS X 10.5.3 Server (running on a Core 2 Duo) and I can still reproduce this bus error ('10Bus error') during loading the mbox file.

Note: I'm working with two mbox files out of a large set: one mbox file (2MB) does not produce the bus error, but the other (1.2MB) does.

granthutchinson has provided me with further sample mbox files and we now have five that produce the bus error while loading the mbox, but four are successfully loaded & processed.
