That patch can't be right; it treats "disconnected" the same as "password failed" and thus prevents password retries. Are you trying to prevent a SEGV at pop3_challenge()? If so, the correct fix is to add a test for LOCAL->response being NIL in that function. -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate.
