Package: maildrop Version: 2.0.4-3 Severity: important I've found lately that whenever I upgraded to a 2.0.4 version of maildrop from the 2.0.3 one that I was using maildrop would hang forever and chew up what little CPU there is on my NSLU2 instead of filing mails.
Today, I've finally broken out gdb to take a closer look at what's going on. I've found that maildrop was endlessly spinning through the loop in Message::Rewind in message.C because in the second call to Rewind the value assigned to the counter variable n, maildrop.msginfo.msgoffset, was negative (somewhere around -260000). Further debugging revealed that it was actually the inlined Message::tell() assigning that absurd value to msgoffset. The mailfilter file I was using consisted of a single to "./Maildir" line, and the mail file I used had just a From:, To: and Subject: header and a single line of data saying "Test". Since I was using an unstripped but still optimized package which made things hard to debug I recompiled maildrop (which only takes a bit over an hour on said hardware) with the noopt flag set, only to discover that now suddenly everything was working perfectly fine. As I really don't have the time nor the experience to hunt what seems to be an GCC ARM compiler bug - could you perhaps forward this compiler bug to the gcc maintainer team and in the meantime build maildrop on ARM without optimizations? Unless I'm really unlucky here I'm afraid I'd have to say that maildrop is currently non-functional on ARM... :( -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: arm (armv5tel) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-ixp4xx Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages maildrop depends on: ii courier-authlib 0.60.1-1+b1 Courier authentication library ii courier-mta [mail-tran 0.58.0.20080127-1 Courier mail server - ESMTP daemon ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.0~rc2-1 GCC support library ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-3 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii libpcre3 7.4-1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libstdc++6 4.3.0~rc2-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 maildrop recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
