I found the bug which caused Dan to lose some files.
It wasn't a malloc problem, it was a jik-being-stupid problem.
In any case, the patch in
/afs/athena/user/j/jik/src/delete/delete.patch6 needs to be applied to
the sources in the source tree.
You will get a couple rejected hunks when you apply the patch. You
can safely ignore them (I already applied the patch on a copy of the
sources to verify this).
After applying the patches, only "make install" will be necessary --
you do not need to rerun "make depend" or anything.
However, I suspect that everything will be reinstalled, because of
some changes I made while debugging the problem....
For the record, this patch will bring the Athena sources up to patch
level 6 of delete.
