This week, both sites dumped core during the process. This leads me to believe some article last week had a messed up message-id. Has anyone observed similar behavior? Is there already a fix for this? I do not believe /bin/sort is at fault. The last message before the dump was from sort and was something to the effect of "LINEFEED missing before EOF." -- Nick Sayer | Think of me as a recombinant | RIP: Mel Blanc mrapple@quack.sac.ca.us | Simpson: Homer's looks, Lisa's | 1908-1989 N6QQQ [44.2.1.17] | brains, Bart's manners, and | May he never 209-952-5347 (Telebit) | Maggie's appetite for TV. --Me | be silenced.
