I asked an OLC question recently about a problem with kermit
in the modem locker giving me segfaults when serving a "get" command.
This problem was new; at some point recently my old scripts broke.
One consultant suggested using the regular Athena release of kermit
which was now a higher release; another suggested writing bugs@mit.edu.
about half the dialup servers are running sunos 5.5.1 and offer
kermit 5 without adding the modem locker; the other half run sunos 5.6
and offer kermit 6.
The segfaults seem to be caused when kermit is given:
set wildcard-expansion shell
and then tries to serve a 'get' command.
I was getting that segfault when using "add modem" (on either or both of
sunos 5.6 and 5.5.1) and also when not doing "add modem" on sunos 5.6.
the last case I didn't check (5.5.1 and no "add modem").
The workaround for me is to simply omit the setting of wildcard-expansion.
So I don't need any more help on this.
But since the number of versions of kermit running around on the std releases
of athena and in the modem locker seems to be many, and their differences
confusing, I thought I should send what I learned on to you at bugs@
in case someone gets the time to clean it all up one day.
