Hello,

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong but I have to see if anybody
else has seen the problems upgrading from SR10.1 to SR10.2. 

If you have a system running SR10.1 (just BSD installed) and you install
as an upgrade (you do NOT format the disk or any other destructive thing),
it seems the MH tools break (at least they did for me). Whenever I do
a COMP I can never send anything with it, I get Message Not Sent.

I isolated this to the following call which abends with a Segmentation
Fault:

/usr/new/lib/mh/spost -library //foo/users/awhitton/Mail -verbose \
-watch //foo/users/awhitton/Mail/drafts/8

This is really weird because on my node which was loaded from
tape this does NOT happen (everything works hunky dory). Strangely
MAIL works fine, but if I compile ELM it fails also....

Currently this is the only anomally I can find (and not many
people use MH here), but it still nags at me that there is
something weird at work. Also anything under /usr/new
is unsupported by Apollo.

Any help, guesses, comments would be appreciated.

Be Seeing You,
Alan
