Hi,
I've been doing `inc -version' before and after upgrading the installed
nmh as 1.7-release changes to check it went OK. I noticed this
behaviour.
$ cat ~/mail/context
Current-Folder: inbox
Version: nmh-1.7-RC2
$ sed -i 2d ~/mail/context
$
$ inc -version
========================================================================
Welcome to nmh version 1.7-RC2
...
This message will not be repeated until nmh is next updated.
========================================================================
Press enter to continue:
inc -- nmh-1.7-RC2 1.7-RC2-1-g42b75672 built 2017-08-18 06:44:22 +0000 on
orac
$
$ cat ~/mail/context
Current-Folder: inbox
$
$ inc -version
========================================================================
Welcome to nmh version 1.7-RC2
...
This message will not be repeated until nmh is next updated.
========================================================================
Press enter to continue:
inc -- nmh-1.7-RC2 1.7-RC2-1-g42b75672 built 2017-08-18 06:44:22 +0000 on
orac
$
There are probably various valid paths where a program exit(0)s that
don't write the context file.
That reminds me. sbr/done.c's done is a file pointer that often points
to exit(3). (`make ctags' fails to find it unless `-I NORETURN' is
given to the exuberant ctags here.) Is it just a poor man's atexit(3),
and should we aim to switch to that as it would give chaining?

Cheers, Ralph.
