Subject: Bug in Pine

I get this weird 'Bug in Pine' when I try to connect to my POP3 server.
Pine (3.91, Linux) asks for my username and for my password, and then
stops and gives that message.

What is this? Can something be done? (Don't say I should upgrade; I
can't until there's a newer Pine in Slackware. I'm not a unix guru,
as you've probably guessed ;-)

This is a well-known bug in 3.91 version. About 1.5 year ago some patches
went through this mailing list/newsgroup. Try to search archives and aplly
the patch recompiling the pine again; or ...

... upgrade to 3.94. As there are already precompiled versions for various
systems (including linux) on ftp.cac.washington.edu you do not need to be
an expert. IMHO the second solution is much better.
