[pimppa-users] Corrupted files.

[Igor W. <iwr...@us...>]

It seems that for a long time, there has been a bug
in Suck that can cause file corruption together with
PIMPPA. This problem has recently been more pronounced
because of increasing amounts of yEnc postings that
this bug especially likes to destroy. I'm sorry that
I didn't notice this earlier (and no-one reported). :(

The fix for Suck will probably appear in its next
version. Meanwhile, if you wish to get more good
files out of your PIMPPA system, download suck 4.3.1
sources and use the included patch as

$ cd suck-4.3.1; patch -p0 <suck_431_dotbug.patch

and recompile/reinstall. Note that the bug - if not
fixed - can also break uuencoded content.
