Hello,
I grabed the latest hypermail from the download area yesterday and it was
seg faulting when I would run it.
I was running hypermail using the following command line options:
/usr/local/bin/hypermail -a
http://www.heisenbug.org/listar/lists/coho/archives -c
/home/listar/archives/hypermail.cfg -d /home/listar/archives/coho/html/2001-04
-l "coho: 2001-04" -m /home/listar/archives/coho/coho.2001-04 -n coho@heisenbug.org -t -T
And I've attached a copy of my hypermail.cfg file.
At any rate I think I've tracked down the problem. I only say that because
after I made this change hypermail stopped seg faulting. But I really don't
know anything about the innerworkings of hypermail so perhaps the problem is
larger than the fix I provide.
With that said, it appears the problem was the result of a miss typed (pasted?)
variable (using set_archives, instead of set_custom_archives). Here is the
diff for this fix:
diff orig/hypermail-2.1.1/src/hypermail.c \
mychanges/hypermail-2.1.1/src/hypermail.c
502c502
< if (set_archives && !strcasecmp(set_custom_archives, "NONE")) {
---
> if (set_custom_archives && !strcasecmp(set_custom_archives, "NONE")) {
Let me know if you have any questions about my setup, etc...
