I suspect the problem is this:
(source/4.3/ucb/Mail/collect.c, line 555)
while (wait(&s) != pid)
;
if ((s & 0377) != 0) {
printf("Fatal error in \"%s\"\n", edit);
remove(tempEdit);
goto out;
}
should read
while (wait(&s) != pid || (s&0377) == 0177)
;
if ((s & 0377) != 0) {
printf("Fatal error in \"%s\"\n", edit);
remove(tempEdit);
goto out;
}
I was unable to reproduce the original problem, so I can't test the fix.
