Subject: pine 4.32 attachment bug

I've seen some strange behavior with the latest pine release (4.32)
concerning the viewing of attachments.  The first time I attempted to view
a JPEG attachment (using xv), it failed.  Xv complained that the filename
didn't exist.  I checked my /var/tmp directory and the file wasn't there.
I repeated the attempt several times and finally the image popped up.  I
checked the /var/tmp directory and, strangely, the file was NOT there.
There seems to be a race condition where pine deletes the file before xv
can grab it and xv wins on occasion.

I went back to 4.31 and the problem disappears and the file remains in
/var/tmp until I close xv.

I have written a patch that deletes the line that causes this problem.
Look for the patch in my web page and look for undex "bug fixes"
