Subject: Q: Pine crashes on AIX32

Hello world,

Tonight I compiled Pine3.89 on our RS6000 running AIX3.2
Well, everything went fine, except that I got this message
when I tried to compose a message:

Bug in Pine detected: "Received abort signal".
Exiting pine.
Abort process (core dumped)

Hmmmm, great...any suggestions? Is the solution to this problem
in a FAQ? Pine looks a lot better than Elm and I just wanted
to give it a try, but it won't work.

Thanks for any help.

Try the pre-compiled executables in the mail/unix-bin directory on
ftp.cac.washington.edu.  Some AIX 3.2 systems have a compiler that generates
bogus code for a few of the code sequences in pine....
