Subject: Pine 3.92 Aborts

Problem -- Pine 3.92 aborts when attempting to edit a partially completed
entry in your addressbook.

Entered Pine from command    pine392 -i

Hit M for Main Menu  then A for AddressBook   then W to get to my line

The line I go to is a PARTIAL address listing - previously I had entered
the "Nickname" - but under the "Fullname" and "Address" I had entered
nothing, and saved off.

None the less, the line is now highlighted, but with ONLY a NickName
showing.  When I hit the "V" for View/Edit this line what I get
(everytime) is AN ABORT saying:

Problem detected: "Received Abort Signal"
Pine Exiting
Pine392: 15842 Floating Exception (Core Dump)

System returns me to the ULTRIX level.  Core dump is present in my home
directory.

THE BUG:  Either it shouldn't allow me to save off without all the lines
filled in on the address book line  OR  it should be able to allow me to
come back in and EDIT those empty lines with the rest of the new data.
So, not sure which module is at fault, but because it's letting me do
something unexpected, I do get an ABORT each and every time.

Thanks in advance.

Steve --

Question -- Has Pine 3.92 been officially released?  Or are we still
testing?  Should I wait for 3.93 for my user community or go with Pine
3.92?

TIA.

Pine 3.92 has definitely been released, but of course we are still testing
:-).  Whether or not you want to go with 3.92 in production or not depends
on how much of a risk taker you are.  The plan is to have 3.93 be more
solid than 3.92.  It will be a mostly bug-fix release.  However, some of
the bugs are logic bugs that are requiring some significant rewriting, so
there's no guarantee that 3.93 will be more stable than 3.92, just an
expectation that it will be.  We are using 3.92 in production on the Univ.
of Washington central computing systems.  There are some known bugs (like
the one you reported).
