After switching from 1.5.9 to the 20040416 snapsnot, mutt
starts complaining "Could not create temporary file!" when
trying to view a message. The problem seems to be in the
code checking if a created temp file is a symlink:
> static int compare_stat (struct stat *osb, struct stat *nsb)
> {
> if (osb->st_dev != nsb->st_dev || osb->st_ino != nsb->st_ino ||
> osb->st_rdev != nsb->st_rdev)
> {
> return -1;
> }
>
> return 0;
> }
called from here:
> int safe_open (const char *path, int flags)
> {
> struct stat osb, nsb;
> int fd, ls, fs;
>
> if ((fd = open (path, flags, 0600)) < 0) {
> printf("open failed!\n");
> return fd;
> }
>
> /* make sure the file is not symlink */
> if ((ls=lstat (path, &osb)) < 0 || (fs=fstat (fd, &nsb)) < 0 ||
> compare_stat(&osb, &nsb) == -1)
because the inode numbers no longer seem to match. Commenting out the
return -1; works as a workaround.
After doing so, and building my own mutt I am sporadically getting
"Couldn't lock " mailbox-name errors from mbox_lock_mailbox failing.
