He hasn't even identified what version of mailx. It may well be that it
has been fixed. I'm not afraid of mailx source, but I don't have enough
information to even try to reproduce this. (I don't think anyone is
maintaining mailx these days, just local patches from different OSes.)
If he's using mailx from the shell prompt at Panix, there's at least
two versions. /usr/bin/mailx is very old, /usr/local/bin/mailx is much
newer. There are many more if he is using an alias (eg to running
/u/l/b/mailx.att or /u/l/b/mailx.old or /u/l/b/nail). He could be
using one he compiled himself or not be using it on Panix at all.
He did complain about this in the Panix internal newsgroups, too, where
I have also not seen a good description of the problem.
I use mailx daily on Panix, but I compiled my own fork. I never see
mailx seg fault.
