            Bug ID: 230196
           Summary: mail/Mail/mailx broken in recent update
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.4-STABLE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: bsd at medieval.org

The /usr/bin/mail program source was updated last month.  I recent built a new
world, and find it to be buggy.

Two bugs noted (consistently) so far:

The first generates a core dump on ordinary activity to view a message:

1. A long message with attachment - doubt the attachment matters, but long.
2. View it with 't' from main menu - pages to 'less'.
3. Hit 'q' to stop before I get to the attachment (or after).
4. Should return to '& ' prompt, but I get '& Segmentation fault(core dumped)'
instead.
5. The program crashes, and mail.core is produced.

The second issue:
^C no longer does anything to break out of composing a message.  (Must use
'kill' from outside the program.)

PS. I emailed this to eadler, the maintainer mentioned in the new sources,
before searching for this form.  My apologies for duplication.
