Hey DM,

I'm getting a core dump in sbbsecho - i'm using makenl to generate a nodelist segment to be sent upstream.

The segment should be from 618:510/1 - but sbbsecho.log shows it in zone 3.

2019-08-18 20:35:49 Packing NetMail (1.msg) from MakeNL 3.4.9 (3:510/1) to Coordinator (3:618/1), attr: 0191, subject: /opt/sbbs/fido/outbound/reg15anz.235

But then it coredumps packing the netmail.

gdb bt shows this:
Reading symbols from /opt/sbbs/exec/sbbsecho...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
[New LWP 24583]
Core was generated by `sbbsecho'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x00005640158533ae in pack_netmail ()
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00005640158533ae in pack_netmail ()
#1 0x000056401583af06 in main ()

I have the coredump and the msg file if it helps...

I don't know about the core dump, but is your default zone zone 3?

Makenl has a bug about zones. To send my segments to Sean I had to add the following to my makenl.ctl file:

Submit 618:618/1 INTL
Optional INTL

and that seemed to fix the netmail addressing issue.

If you can reproduce the crash using a debug build and provide a similar backtrace (bt) output, that would be helpful.

I don't know about the core dump, but is your default zone zone 3?

Its the first address listed in SCFG->networks->FTN, so yes I guess it is.

I'm using the same config that I had on MBSE - where my default zone was 3 as well - so curious why it worked there but not in SBBS then...

Submit 618:618/1 INTL
Optional INTL

Thanks, I'll try that. I do have the submit line as you have it, but without the INTL part.

you need the INTL part so that the INTL control line will be put into the msg by makenl... without it, many tossers don't have a clue about the destination zone since it is not stored in the msg file format... this is one of the uses for the INTL control line...

I'm using MakeNL 3.4.9 - and it didnt like that option in the config.

I guess I need to upgrade (I was going to anyway :)

you need to be more specific, please... the INTL option has been available for years before the tool was reverse engineered to give us today's maintainable source code...

generally that's a good idea ;)

In a previous post I was given this as a tip:

Makenl has a bug about zones. To send my segments to Sean I had to add the

following to my makenl.ctl file:

Submit 618:618/1 INTL
Optional INTL
and that seemed to fix the netmail addressing issue.

It didnt like the statement "Optional INTL".

I did however, recompile and use "Submit 618:618/1 INTL" and it appears to be working just fine...

right... that's not a valid line... possobly something was misunderstood?

appears to be working just fine...

recompiling shouldn't have been necessary but i'm glad to hear that it is working for you now... i've used the INTL option in makenl since it was first available... there are times that i forget that the zone and point data is not available in MSG files without some help from additional control lines ;)
