Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've just upgraded to the most current kernel, and am having some very, very strange problems with my system. I use pine for email, and each time I restart pine, it tells me that its a new version (haven't upgraded pine in months) and regenerates my .pinerc. Looking at the .pinerc itself seems to show some "weird" stuff: ------------------ # Updated by Pine(tm) 3.96, copyright 1989-1996 University of Washington. # # Pine configuration file -- customize as needed. # # This file sets the configuration options used by Pine and PC-Pine. If you # are using Pine on a Unix system, there may be a system-wide configuration # file which sets the defaults for these variables. There are comments in # this file to explain each variable, but if you have questions about # specific settings see the section on configuration options in the Pine # notes. On Unix, run pine -conf to see how system defaults have been set. # For variables that accept multiple values, list elements are separated # by commas. A line beginning with a space or tab is considered to be a # continuation of the previous line. For a variable to be unset its value # must be blank. To set a variable to the empty string its value should # be "". You can override system defaults by setting a variable to the # empty string. Switch variables are set to either "yes" or "no", and # default to "no". # Lines beginning with "#" are comments, and ignored by Pine. ateFreeObjects(); } () = tclFreeObjList; tclFreeObjList = (Tcl_Obj *) tclFreeObj List->internalRep.otherValuePtr; ()->refCount = 0; ()->bytes = tclEmptyString Rep; ()->length = 0; ()->typePtr = NULL; TclIncrObjsAllocated() # Over-rides your full name from Unix password file.
