Yes, it's clear that the kernel-land/NFS code is the culprit as it shouldn't have failed. But he might want to try Pine 4, who knows, maybe it won't trigger the timebomb explosion or it will behave differently (catching a crushdump?); it also might give a clue to what's wrong... And BTW, I thought Pine reads all the mailbox in memory; if it were to save the attachement to a normal non-NFS filesystem it wouldn't have anything to do with NFS ?... > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | > |http://www.gsoft.com.au | > |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| > |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Another $0.02 Ady (@freebsd.ady.ro) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
