Are you out of disk space on /tmp or /var/tmp?

I have no idea - how can I tell? (for the future, that is - whatever was
wrong has been fixed - about 12 hours after this started everything
collapsed at worldonline/tiscali and it took another half day before
they got things back up and running)

I take it then that this isn't a bug but known pine behavior...

Thanks for responding

"df /tmp" or "df /var/tmp" will show you how much disk is available on
/tmp and /var/tmp respectively.

"Error writing scratch file" is a legitimate error when a tmp directory is
filled.

A Pine crash is not.

So why the abort and core dump -any ideas?

You seem to imply that it shouldn't have happened...

That's right.  An abort/dump should never happen.

As for "why"...do you have a stack trace or any other form of gdb/dbx analysis
of the dump?  Many times, problems such as this aren't reproducable here.

No, how do I do that? (I assume it's too late this time)

I could send the core, I still have the last one (all others gone) - it's
slightly over 1 meg, the previous ones were under...

If you have gdb on your system:

gdb path_of_Pine_binary path_of_core_file

The output from the command command "info stack" is useful as a start.  There
may be other things that are also useful.

> slightly over 1 meg, the previous ones were under...

Unfortunately, it's useless to mail core files to us unless we have the same
system type and the exact same Pine binary.

PC-Pine does not appear to render html
messages correctly unless they have a charset.

So this works:
content-type: text/html; charset="ascii"

But this doesn't:
content-type: text/html

Any fix?
