I had the same problem, and hacked up the genpath.c a bit. It appears as
though it has directly to do with how FreeBSD is grabbing the home dir path.
len[1-3] are lengths of strings. I believe FreeBSD is calculating the length
of the string path incorrectly. I think what I did to get it working was to
just disable the check on len[2] (if I remember correctly) and assume that
there would be no home directory longer than 256. Have fun.

Hi all,
Could someone perhaps shed some light onto the "Insufficient room to
generate..." error message that I'm getting if I configure qpopper with
--enable-home-dir-mail ? Unfortunatley I can't make head nor tail of the
meanings behind the len[1-3] values that seem to spring the error
message from inside genpath.c.

Qpopper (4.0.3) was configured with: --enable-nonauth-file=/etc/ftpusers
--prefix=/usr/local --enable-debugging --enable-home-dir-mail, and it's
running under FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE.
Thanks for any clues!
