The message, when received as being distributed by the mailing list, had 
an attachment.

Mailing lists should not distribute attachments.

Could the list administrator please configure the mailing list 
application so as to reject messages with attachments?

Thank you in anticipation.

True enough, but I wanted to make sure that the pine folks would be able to
download the message in its entirety, w/o any possible manipulation by the
mail software (I never "forward as attachment" otherwise).

Using Red Hat Linux 7.1 with the currently released PINE 4.44, 
your message did not crash PINE.  I tested it also on a 7.2 and 
7.3 system, and with current rawhide PINE.

Either we've patched whatever bug is causing PINE to crash, or 
something is different in your configuration of PINE, or possibly 
your binaries are messed up, or built incorrectly.

You might wish to download our sources and patch pine with our 
patches to see if that solves the problem for you or not.

Note:  To report bugs to the PINE team, send your bug report 
emails, with file attachments to:  [email-masked]

Hope this helps.

I highly suspect the version of the OS has nothing to do with this.

Possibly; I built pine from the initial 4.44 source release, sans patches.

Hi Kenny,

Thanks for pointing this one out to us.  There was a problem with Pine's
HTML-rendering, and a fix for it will be available in the next release,
which is due out not too long from now.

Hi Folks,

I know this is a known problem, so I'm checking to see if
anyone has addressed it:

How do you build Pine 4.44 under NetBSD (Alpha) so that
you don't get the crashing with "Undefined PLT Symbol"
errors? I don't have this problem on Linux or Solaris
systems, only NetBSD. I've seen it documented as a
known problem, but I can't remember what the solution
was. Thank you.

Art
