The thing is, the file it says is open is a directory, yet it says it was opened by "open" rather than by "opendir". Very peculiar. One approach might be to look through all the queuemail code for any place where any "open" call might actually be issued on a directory rather than on a file. Does AIX 3.1 do anything weird with opening & closing directories? If, for example, it renamed "closedir" to something else, then the fdplumber stuff needs to be augmented to recognize the new name for it; otherwise it is simply missing the closes, and printing out spurious messages about directories that really have already been closed. -- Nathaniel
