>Release:        FreeBSD 2.1.5
>Environment:

	qpopper2.2

>Description:

	The bulletin database file is not closed, and the lock remains
	intact for the next popper process.  When it is not able to secure
	a new lock, access to the database fails.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Compile. Install. Attempt to use the bulletin feature more than once.

>Fix:
	
	This is not the correct or elegant solution. I added:

	if (p->bulldir != NULL)
		dbm_close(p->bull_db);

	near the end of pop_dropcopy.c (at the end of pop_dropcopy(), just
	after the actual call to pop_bull()).
