I just ran pmail on inf. I tried to reply to a message.
After I hit `.', I got:
gtty: Invalid argument
& Saved 2 messages in mbox
Held 14 messages in /mit/yandros/.Private/mail/mbox.pop
and then my shell promt. I didn't hit `q' or `x' or any of those...
Fixed.
Actually, I should be more specific. I fixed the bug that made it
quit after you replied. (It was a bug in the bsd-solaris library. In
my implementation of signal() using sigaction(), I forgot to set the
restartable syscalls flag, so receiving a sigchld during fgets() was
causing read() to tell fgets() that it had reached the eof on stdin
and so the program would quit... Blah blah blah blah... Anyway, I
got a minor headache debugging it.)
As far as the "gtty: Invalid argument", this is an unrelated bug, and
I haven't been able to reproduce it. However, I looked at the code
that outputs that error message, and it's really sloppy, so I might be
able to fix it anyway... :-)
Have a nice day.
