Hi,
I have a problem with cygwin and procmail. If messages exceed a certain
size, procmail just hangs, eating 100% cpu without doing anything.
I've been trying to debug this further, but it just hangs, even with an
empty .procmailrc file.
Funny enough if I run procmail from within "strace" it runs fine, even
with larger messages.
I'm at a loss how provide you with more info about this problem.
I binary-searched for the cutoff-point:
Does not work: 8573458 bytes.
Does work: 8573457 bytes.
that is hex 0x82D212, nothing that i recognize...
It appears to depend on total filesize independant of the headers to
body ratio.
Please help.
CU,
Sec
P.S.:
procmail -v says its:
procmail v3.22 2001/09/10
cygwin says its
procmail-3.22-10

Ok, we're making progress. I found a major bug (that Julian is
committing now). -- Matthew Dillow on freebsd-chat
