All the news software recompile and seemed to be running just fine until I got a call from a neighbor about strange error messages in their log file (expected 6 lines got 2000...). It turns out that /usr/include/sys/types.h was the 4.1 version instead of the 4.2 version. This yielded "interesting" results for file sizes from stat(2) (the article size in the batch). The problem was quickly corrected. Perhaps unbatch and batch should pay more attention to premature EOF. Marsh Gosnell whuxle!mkg
