I installed Version 1.02 of Techmail for Windows on Tuesday. Since then I
have been having problems with
1) General Protection Faults randomly. They seem to be in different
regions and I have not documented them all, but one occurs in techmail.exe
at 0001:680C. I get a GPF about one third of the time I use techmail.
2) I get Hesiod errors almost every time I use Techmail. I spoke with
the network help line yesterday and the consultant and I played with my
get-mail user preferences. It is set up with eagle.mit.edu as the default,
and all three boxes are checked. My post-office is po6.mit.edu; it works
if I specify that, but the consultant says that I should not have to.
I never had any of these problems with Version 1.01. The following is the
techmail.ini file

I note that DestroyTickets=0. I just set that this morning (from
UserPreferences). It doesn't seem to matter which way it is set.
