Subject: Pine 3.96 and AIX 4.1

When executing Pine on an AIX F30 running 4.1, I receive this error:

> ./pine_aix
Illegal instruction(coredump)

Running with dbx:

>dbx pine_aix
Type 'help' for help.
reading symbolic information ...
[using memory image in core]

Illegal instruction (reserved addressing fault) in _findenv at line 160 in file
 "setenv.c"
Instruction is valid on: ppc, 601, 603, 604
couldn't read "setenv.c"

>(dbx) where

_findenv(name = internal error: assertion failed at line 947 in file frame.c
(nil), offset = internal error: assertion failed at line 947 in file frame.c
0x534fd), line 160 in "setenv.c"
setenv.getenv(name = "=/afs/asu.edu/users/k/a/n/kaneshig"), line 135 in "setenv
.c"
main(argc = 1, argv = 0x2ff22bcc, 0x2ff22bd4, 0xdeadbeef, 0x2ff22ff8, 0x0, 0x20
07b558, 0xdeadbeef), line 325 in "pine.c"

>(dbx)

This occurs on two out of the three AIX 4.1 machines that we run.  Pine was
compiled on the one (Model 250) that does work, and it was also compiled on
the two (F30) that do not work; same results occur on those two.  Any
suggestions appreciated.  I am not subscribed to this list, please direct
your response to me as well as to this list.  Thanks....

Hi Bob,

I'm no longer with the Pine Team, but from your stack trace it looks
like Pine may be having trouble dealing with some environment variable
you have set.  Take a look at line 325 of pine.c to see what it is
looking for...
