Subject: Stuck in debug mode

Hello there...

Sorry to trouble everyone with this,
but I'm not sure where-else to
address this query to...

I ftp'ed straight executables
of pine and pico for the Sun
onto my system... (because
of not having, or rather
experiencing problems with
the C-compiler at our site)

Pico works fine, but Pine
is for some reason stuck
in debug mode, so typing 'pine'
is the equivalent of 'pine -d 4'?
because I end up with a total number
of 4 .pine-debug reports before they
loop around again...

Is this a problem with my system,
or is pine (3.89 in this case)
meant to default to debug mode?

It doesn't seem to be experiencing
any problems with my system, it
just automatically gives me a
debug report anyway.

Can I cure this?

Thanks a lot...

Kenny,

Pine keeps the last 4 .pine-debug files to help with troubleshooting if
problems occur.  You never know when they will come in handy, but...  To turn
them off, start Pine with the "-d0" command line option. 

Thanks for the reuqest!
