I ve been using Pine 3.88 ( I cant find 3.89 ) 2 months now. During the 
las week I ve faced many different small problems. The most serious and 
most constant of all seems to be the one I m facing now... every 10 
minutes pine tells me " Folder shrank from **** to **** bytes, aborted "
; and after that every message goes blank, so I have to leave and reenter 
pine... The folders seem unchanged after that, although i have had some 
minor problems with them a few days ago...

Thank you.

Ippokratis,

Pine 3.89 is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.cac.washington.edu in 
the mail directory.

It sounds like you have some other mail application running on your system
that is modifying your INBOX without bothering to check file locks.  Do you
know if your INBOX is NFS mounted? 

Thanks for the report!
