2782.0. "AMIGA_SYS Whacko?" by DICKNS::MACDONALD (WA1OMM 7.093/145.05/223.58 AX.25) Mon Jul 31 1989 15:37

    Has AMIGA_SYS gone whacko? I noticed that the July 29th postings
    are the same as the July 28th postings. Also there appears to be
    a 2 week or so lag between the USENET postings and the AMIGA_SYS
    postings.

2782.1Mad batch job...FRAMBO::BALZERChristian Balzer DTN:785-1029Tue Aug 01 1989 04:119
    This should really be answered by Ralf Zimmermann, but since he
    has been VERY busy the last days...
    
    Ralfs automagic update batch job has gone beserk during the last
    weekend, causing multiple (4) copies of old stuff to be re-inserted
    into Notesfile. I dunno how Ralf is going to clear up the mess,
    my proposal was rather drastic, to start all over...

BULL!@#$HIT,

this happens the second time now. Seems that i had to remember my BLISS-16
and BLISS-36 times to learn BLISS-32 and rewrite USENOTES.

Looks like USENOTES allocated less than 298 bytes for a $GET from that file
causing RMS to choke? 

In any case, nothing to do with the UAF parameters. Try running teco on that
file. Sometimes it will fix things up. 

Is it ASCII? MAybe just editing it and putting a CR where that long record is
will fix it.

2782.4input record buffer sizeSAUTER::SAUTERJohn SauterTue Aug 01 1989 09:105
    From the error message, part, at least, of USENOTES is written in VAX
    SCAN.  My guess is that the VAX SCAN program declares that its input
    records will not exceed 255 bytes.  If you have the source, increase
    that to 32760 and see if it works better.
