What were you trying to do?
Set up a mail feed to the discuss meeting on my sun.
What's wrong:
dsmail likes to produce large files named core
What should have happened:
dsmail should have entered a new transaction in the meeting.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
the-other-woman:~/n.dcns: cat ~/Mail/inbox/3478 | /usr/athena/bin/dsmail -d /usr/spool/discuss/bazquux
Bus error (core dumped)
This wa easier than actually mailing it, but the results are similar.
the-other-woman:~/n.dcns: gdb /usr/athena/bin/dsmail core
