What does that mean for you you may ask. It means that some issues were fixed by moving to the simpler 1:1 threads that now exist in 7.x. I recommend, if you have permission, that you build Alpine from ports with the thread option disabled: 1. cd /usr/ports/mail/alpine && make config 2. Set THREADS to off in the menu. 3. make clean 4. make deinstall install clean Sean -- scf@FreeBSD.org " >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
