[This should have gone out to the net any way. My uucico seems to be
barfing on this piece of mail (curious). I haven't the time to figure
what exactly is going on, so I punt.]

I just received Conf across the net, and compiled it. However, I get
a "Memory Fault -- core dumped" almost immediately. My machine is an
AT&T 3B15, running System V.2.1. I used sdb to try and track it down,
and it appears to be a call to malloc, which is called from mymalloc,
which is called from getrc in the initialization code.
Thanks for the bug report.
I looked into the situation will mymalloc(), the only thing that
looked remotely strange to me was:
In the file `confopts.c' there is a function `tcapstr()'
The line:
(void) strcpy(*var, tcapbuf);
Would be more reasonable if it was:
(void) cpystr(*var, tcapbuf, tmp-tcapbuf);
Without actually seeing the code, I really couldn't tell you for sure
this is the problem. If this does not work, consider sending me a a
stack trace with as much info as you can supply.
In any case, I'd like to hear if the above fixed your problem or not.
Pax, Keith
