Hi Tommi,

On 2024-04-22 10:46:01, you wrote to me:

I've got another thing to try: 'valgrind'

If yours is setup as a development system, you might already have it, otherwise it should be easy to install it from your distributions package manager.

Then start fmail (the debug version!) "under" valgrind:

# valgrind [path/]fmail toss [&>output.txt]

Hopefully that wil give us the specific clues to narrow it down to the line of code that causes the error in your setup.

Btw: If the output is large, maybe use netmail! ;-)

Yes.

TK> In my system /bbs/fmail/netmail is msg opus netmail directory.

Netmail and the hudson message base can be in the same directory (I think). They don't have overlapping file names.
There are some more references to FML in FMail.txt, if you want to know more...


Bye, Wilfred.
