It's true, neither B News or C News call dbmclose() before exiting. It's worth adding though. The change for C News is simple, just look for the exit() calls in expire and mkdbm and add dbmclose() before them. You probably don't want INCORE defined for the dbz you link with relaynews. Can anyone post patches to add dbmclose() to B News expire? It's probably quite simple. -- Jon Zeeff Branch Technology Fax: (313) 995-1931
