Bug#4475: Pine dies unexpectedly
Package: pine
Version: 3.94-2
Pine, ever since I upgraded to this version, has crashed on me frequently.
It seems to happen if I fail to hit a key for a while, as if it's some
sort of timeout, but that's not the only time it does it. No coredump,
and no message saying "Pine terminating" or anything like that.
I've been running pine with the `open' command to put it in a fresh VC; I
haven't observed this behaviour when running it from an ordinary shell, so
maybe it doesn't like being a session leader. Also, I tried running it
under strace, but it wouldn't crash! - that seems to confirm this
conclusion.
This is *very* annoying ...
