More details: this problem exhibits ONLY when Pine is run under XWindows,
and probably ISN'T related to a special version of FreeBSD (and it might
not be related only to the FreeBSD OS)!
There seems to be a strange interaction between Pine 4.03 and BASH when
the XTerm's dimensions are large (i.e. more than 55 lines & more than 170
columns). I have no problems with SH; I checked again 4.02A and haven't
had any problems with it...
Environment:
* FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE
* XFree86 Version 3.3.2.3 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: July 15 1998
Operating System: FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE i386
* GNU bash, version 2.02.0(1)-release (i386-pc-freebsd2.2.7)
* Pine 4.03 built from FreeBSD port
* Pine 4.03 built from original sources, "bsf" port
I'd like to ask the people on the list to check this observation: please
run bash in a xterm as large as possible and launch Pine and perform the
"compose yourself a message and check your mail" test (make sure you have
a zero-length mailbox and you have enabled the
"quell-folder-internal-msg" feature). This might exhibit for any OS, not
just FreeBSD (as a matter of fact I saw a similar bug report earlier on
the list)!
In the mean time I will release to the public the FreeBSD port, hoping
we're going to get enough feedback to solve this issue. You can get the
lastest version of the port from:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.ady.ro/ports/pine/4.03/pine4.tar.gz

Thank you very much,
