Subject: one rsh left around after Pine finishes

We run three variants of Pine 3.89:

   sun    for computers running SunOS 4.1.2 and SunOS 4.1.3
   sol    for computers running SunOS 5.2 and SunOS 5.3
   hpp    for computers running HP-UX 9.01

All uses of Pine on these machines use IMAP to access the user's inbox.
The IMAP daemons run on a SunOS 4.1.3 computer called venus.  We are using
the version supplied with Pine 3.89, namely IMAP2bis Version 7.5(72). 

When Pine is run, it sets up two rsh processes to venus:

   rsh venus exec /etc/rimapd

When Pine 3.89 (or 3.88) is run on a SunOS 5.2 machine, sometimes one of
the two rsh processes still remains after the user has left Pine.  This
happens quite often during the day.  But I haven't worked out why it
happens on some occasions and not on others. 

Is this a known problem?  Has anyone else seen this?

Barry,

This is a known problem, but unfortunately we are thus far unable to 
pinpoint the cause.  We will continue to pursue it.  Thanks for the report!
