Terence,

Thank you very much for making this patch quickly available.  I have
verified that this patch can be applied to Pine-4.04 (the version of Pine
that RedHat 5.2 uses by default), and have made both a source and binary
RPM utilizing this patch for RedHat 4.2 (libc5) systems, available here:

	http://www.samiam.org/blackdragon
	ftp://ftp.samiam.org/pub/blackdragon

If anyone wants to make a RedHat 5.2 RPM, the only things I have done to
RedHat's RPM is add Terence's patch, comment out RedHat's noflock patch,
and some major surgery on the glibc patch.  Considering the ease of making
this RPM, and RedHat's track record of making patches available very
quickly, I would be surprised if it took RedHat more than 24 hours to make
a patched Pine available in RPM format.

Note that FTP users will need to use an FTP client with the ability to
transfer files with passive FTP.

- Sam
