Hi,
I suspect I have found a bug in s-nail/s-mailx.
When trying to send mail using
echo test | mail -stest david
the mail command would block indefinitely. The same
happens when trying to read local mail.
I cloned https://git.sdaoden.eu/scm/s-nail.git and
built the `devel' target, then run s-nail in gdb.
The backtrace shown by gdb upon killing the process
is attached.
I managed to fix the build by #undef-ing HAVE_GETRANDOM
in auxlily.c:60. Then, n_msleep is not called and the
application works as usual.
I'm running Arch Linux, pacman -Q | grep s-nail shows
s-nail 14.9.3-1
The system is a virtualized VPS running OpenVZ, if I
remember correctly---just in case this matters.
If I can help to fix the problem or provide further
information, let me know.
Regards
David
