AFAICS, 339749 combines with 339691 to cause data loss, which means there's a grave bug. Whose bug is it? I think the answer is maildrop, because I see no reason why it's appropriate for maildrop to take it upon itself to kill child processes. vacation is one known example of a program where this behavior fails badly, but I think it's reasonable to suspect there are others. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
