Zmailer on DEC Alpha

[Armin Gruner <gruner@informatik.tu-muenchen.de>]

After some porting, I succeeded in compiling 2.2 on a DEC
Alpha running OSF/1 1.2. Unfortunately it happens that the router
dumps core very often. I assume that the written "fc" files are not
64-bit clean. But, it always dumps at the same place (when inside
the "sift" command). The following illustrates the location:

["interpret.c":2166, 0x1200366f8]

The router program output in it's logfile:

router: regexp -e: corrupted program


Any suggestions? Rayan? :)

Anyways, I will post the diffs to get it compile (and the diffs to run it on
BSDI/386 0.1, and on a Sequent Symmetry) in a few days.

PS. I fould another problem. zmailer "pretties" the header files of mails,
i.e. writing tabs between the header-token and its content, AND it does
line break. It behaves incorrect if the line can't be split on a word
boudary. That leads to a line line:

        .de>

User Agents and other MTA's are not very happy with that...
