Hello managers,
I've come across a bizarre problem associated with using Pine 3.95
on DU 4.0. After trying to send a mail message, we get the error:
>From Pine output:
-----------------
Stack overflow: pid 1718, proc pine, addr 0x11fdffff0, pc
0x1200f4c9c
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
>From Pine debug output:

IMAP DEBUG 14:15:37 9/20: HELO localhost
SIGCHLD raised
alarm_signal()
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Furthermore, if I execute the above sendmail command from the
shell, e.g.:
% /usr/lib/sendmail -bs -odb -oem
and then type "helo localhost", I also get a segmentation fault.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some other useful info:
This problem only occurs for one particular user (so far) when
that user logs into a workstation under the CDE. This problem _never_
occurs if _that same user_ has logged into a workstation using a
DecWindows session, or if the user has telnet-ed to the machine.
Additionally, the above sendmail command (follow by helo localhost)
only gives a segmentation fault if it was run in a shell window
which was started in the "problem user's" CDE session. This user is using
the default .pinerc configuration file.
Increasing the shell's (we use tcsh) stacksize has no effect.
I'm at a total loss. If anyone can offer _any_ suggestions, I'd
be very appreciative. Will summarize.
