bash-2.04$ elm Close failed on temp file "/home/anarchy/.elm/mbox.alan.alan"! [No space left on device] Discarding any changes made to mail folder ... Received Segment Violation signal! Emergency exit taken! bash-2.04$ df .
Can you check if elm-2.5.5-5 fixes the segmantation fault?
$ rpm -q elm elm-2.5.5-5 $ elm Write failed in copy_message()! [No space left on device] Emergency exit taken! Preserving editor composition file "/home/ms/.elm/tmp/snd.21715" ... Preserving temporary folder "/home/ms/.elm/mbox.ms.ms" ...
Steps to reproduce: 1. export TMPDIR=/some/dir on a partition to be filled up 2. start "elm" 3. fill partition that holds /some/dir, so "df" prints "0" 4. delete a message (marks it a D) and quit
Means, SegFault not reproducible at my end. Most likely not an out-of-disk-space problem.
Ok, elm-2.5.5-5 fixes the problem then. Creating more diskspace is a little out of scope.
Though, if there hasn't been a specific fix for anything like this in 2.5.5-5, this one should be kept an eye on. Alan's case looks like there could be more involved than just out-of-disk-space.
