Current Etch version of MLMMJ seems to suffer from a known and corrected

[Thomas Goirand]

Dear list,

Here's what I saw in one of my server's syslog:

Jul 30 22:15:58 mx /usr/bin/mlmmj-process[17885]: subscriberfuncs.c:61:
Could not mmap fd: Invalid argument
Jul 30 22:15:58 mx /usr/bin/mlmmj-send[17885]: getaddrsfromfd.c:27:
Could not mmap fd: Invalid argument
Jul 30 22:16:56 mx /usr/bin/mlmmj-bounce[18009]: subscriberfuncs.c:61:
Could not mmap fd: Invalid argument
Jul 30 22:17:48 mx /usr/bin/mlmmj-bounce[18124]: subscriberfuncs.c:61:
Could not mmap fd: Invalid argument

As I saw this in the archive of the list:

http://mlmmj.mmj.dk/archives/mlmmj/2006-08/0758.html

with this reply:

I was wondering what you would advise to patch in the current Debian
stable version, so we can have it patched.

Best regards,

Thomas Goirand

P.S: Please keep the address 435420@bugs.debian.org as cc so it can be
sent to the Debian bug tracker system (BTS) case that I have just open,
and with it's archive can be seen here:

When I started mlmmj the linux kernel didn't complain about mmap'ing  
a file with size 0. My FreeBSD box is not complaining either.

What you want to do is find all the checks in the freshly released  
1.2.15 for 0-sized files (IIRC only the two places mentioned above is  
needed, but should be easy to grep for), and you add the same checks  
to the etch version.
