From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: when a signal is received, procmail dumps core. This happens for I think all fatal signals procmail handles. I tested with SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGHUP. Procmail dumped core on all three occassions. Typical output when I send a signal from another terminal to a running procmail: binand@binand[~]:(11) procmail procmail: Terminating prematurely Segmentation fault (core dumped) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run procmail from command line (with or without an rc file) 2. press control-C for SIGINT 3. procmail will dump core, with the above output Actual Results: lots of core.$$ files in my home directory :) Expected Results: procmail should have performed a clean shutdown. Additional info:
Reproduced. Sent a mail to the maintainer for feedback.
This seems to be fixed when Debian's procmail_3.22-8.diff is applied. I'm adding that patch to procmail-3.22-12.
