Hello.

[ Please keep the Cc: lines when replying. Thanks ].
BTW: Does somebody read this address, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Are you still
interested in fixing procmail bugs? There are a number of bugs here:
http::/bugs.debian.org/procmail
for which I don't have an official fix yet.

Subject: Bug#349595: procmail: formail should detect a corrupted cache file
Package: procmail
Version: 3.22-11
Severity: minor
In the event of formail being killed unexpectedly, it can leave the
cache file in an unusable state. It appears that the fix for this is
simple, to ensure that the file is always null terminated. At
appropriate place in formail startup (I couldn't tell where), just do
the following:
fseek(idcache, -1, SEEK_END);
fwrite("\0", 1, 1, idcache);
fseek(idcache, 0, SEEK_SET);
I have been manually fixing my formail cache but a more intelligent
solution would be better.
