Subject: Pine 3.92 Aborting

My service provider recently upgraded Pine to version 3.92.  On a
couple of occasions (including this morning), when I go to send an
email or newsgroup post, Pine 3.92 suddenly displays the error message
"Exit signal received.  Pine aborting."  (That's from memory.)  I find
myself back at the shell command prompt and my work lost.  Because of
the way Pine is set up here, there are no automatic or default core
dumps.

    If it makes any difference, Pine 3.92 is running under SunOS 4.1.4,
and I use the jpico configuration of the JOE 2.8 editor as an alternate
editor.  However, the error does not occur until after I have exited
the alternate editor and actually issue ^X to send the message.

    This is frustrating, because I lose my work.  Has anyone else
experienced this with version 3.92, and does anyone have any hints
on salvaging the work?  Thanks.
