I have just obtained the pine binaries from the source above.
When starting and opening "INBOX", pine exits with messages:

Bug in Pine detected: "Abort  signal recieved"
Exiting Pine.

My system is System V/386 Release 3.2

Could you advise me what to do?

Sergey Nikolaev.

Never seen that one.  I built it to run on SysV r3.2 v4.2.  What version
of the system do you have?  What style mailboxes are you using?  Do you
have TCP/IP installed?  Does this happen on both user mailboxes and on
root?  Did you get the package from odi.cwc.whecn.edu or ftp.celestial.com
(both sources were mentioned)?  If necessary, I can build it for you with 
debugging turned on, so you can get more information about where it's 
crashing.

I get the same error. I got mine from odi.cwc.whecn.edu since ftp.celestial.com
doesn't seem to be up (at least from where I am).

I can't seem to get through to them either.  I have run the binary from 
odi here, and have no problems.  What version does "uname -X" say you've 
got?  I've never tried to run this on anything less than 3.2.4.0 (and I'm 
running 3.2.4.2), and I'm not sure I ever tested it on default Sendmail 
boxes, though I'm sure it works.  So let me know all you can about the 
situation, and if necessary I'll be happy to get you a binary with 
debugging enabled.
