This log excerpt came to my attention this
morning (line-wrapped):
2001-06-12 20:00:26 159tOr-0000sa-00 Process
failed (1) when writing error message to
user@??? (frozen)
[address rewritten]
A quick look at the code reveals that child_close
is returning one, causing the mail to get frozen
because:
there was some disaster in setting up the error
message
A glance at child.c didn't really help me in
seeing why child_close returned one. The comment
at the top of the function says:
Returns: >= 0 process terminated by exiting;
value is process ending status
... but I can't work out what would cause the
child to exit with status one. I can see where
the child is created (deliver.c:5190) but not
where that child exits.
I wonder if anyone can shed some light on this?
Cheers,
Ollie
P.S.
The message was successfully dealt with when
manually thawed.
