Subject: (7.48) I use funnel feeds and INND dumps core
When the target of a funnel feed is dropped and the funnel feed that pipes into it is not, then innd will dump core. E.g. newsfeeds : foo::Tm:bar bar:!,Tf,Wnm: If you now issue a ``ctlinnd drop bar'' then innd will soon drop core. There is at the moment no fix other than dropping foo before bar in the above example. ------------------------------ [Source:* INN FAQ Part 7 Archive-name: usenet/software/inn-faq/part7] [Last Changed: $Date: 1997/09/16 01:25:57 $ $Revision: 2.25 $] [Copyright: 1997 Heiko Rupp, portions by Tom Limoncelli, Rich Salz, et al.]

Subject: (7.48) I use funnel feeds and INND dumps core

When the target of a funnel feed is dropped and the funnel feed that
pipes into it is not, then innd will dump core. E.g. newsfeeds :

foo:*:Tm:bar
bar:!*,Tf,Wnm*:

If you now issue a ``ctlinnd drop bar'' then innd will soon drop core.

There is at the moment no fix other than dropping foo before bar in the above
example.
