>Description:
alpine is crashing on FreeBSD 6.x due to threading implementation
difference..
>How-To-Repeat:
try alpine on FreeBSD 6.x - open a large folder (> 60000 messages)
>Fix:
Copy from message thread from alpine-info mailing list:
"
Threads on FreeBSD 6.x used KSE (M:N threads) and threads on FreeBSD 7.x are
1:1. What does that mean for you you may ask. It means that some issues
were fixed by moving to the simpler 1:1 threads that now exist in 7.x. I
recommend, if you have permission, that you build Alpine from ports with the
thread option disabled:
1. cd /usr/ports/mail/alpine && make config
2. Set THREADS to off in the menu.
3. make clean
4. make deinstall install clean
