Trymail doesn't do an opendir of a Mailbox directory. However, as you recall, vmail() (a routine from overhead/mail/lib -> libmail.a) will look to see if its destination directory is in AFS; the IsOnVice() procedure takes an open file descriptor, so vmail() typically open's and close's the Mailbox directory itself around making this check. But, Bob has tinkered with his copy of vmail.c on rs_aix31 because the AFS-dependent ioctl (VIOCIGETCELL) doesn't work in the AFS port to rs/6000's yet. Until he tells me otherwise, I'll assume that Bob's tinkering eliminated the close() done in overhead/mail/lib/vmail.c, line 117 or 122. Craig
