This PR can be closed.
The originator was using elm-2.4ME+68, which was on the 4.0 CD set. From a
later elm-2.4ME ChangeLog, I found:
- "Also, under Solaris 2.6/7, HP-UX 10.20 and
FreeBSD 3.1, if the mailbox does not exist
(i.e. /var/mail/user), elm will dump core.
If the file exists but is zero length, there
is no problem. This problem does not occur on linux
(Redhat 6.0 in my tests)."
Reported by: Zube <Zube@CS.ColoState.EDU>
- Also happened on IRIX
Orginator was advised to upgrade to a newer ELM.
