hi!

some days ago i checked out pine 4.40 and i had some strange problem.
i have a collection list of mail i always read and usually use the select function to look for new mails there.
it started and worked out fine but when it had finished and wanted to mark them in bold pine exited with the comment
"problem detected".
after that my linux 2.4.8 (on debian) kernel reported:

Oct 23 14:32:40 localhost kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000080

i do run this process as my own non-super-user on a smp maschine.
i do not know wether it is a problem of my kernel or not but my pine 4.33 does not cause this trouble so i simply downgraded.

in pine 4.33 i have a problem that is always occuring when i create a new filter for mails where the file for it at this time does not exist.
when i create the filter and exit pine tries to create this file and then immediatelly exits with the same "problem detected"
after that this rule does not exist in my rules. my workaround for that is to manually create that file before  creating this filter.

i hope you can fix that :)

regards,
    nosy

It's a bug in Pine. I have a patch for it in my web page (address below).
Look under "Bug Fixes".
