    So yes, we have to file a bug report. Just test by yourself and go
    ahead.

    If I'm not mistaken, the crashmail debian stuff was maintained by RJ Clay (as was most FTN related debian packages),

    Yes, he was the maintainer.

    who hasn't been around in at *least* 2 years,

    There are also no github commits after 2019.

    and a small search does show someone with his name
    unfortunately passed away on October 28, 2021.

    which might also be another person.

    The bug report may not go anywhere for you if he was the only person
    with read/write access.

    The bug reports are public. Even if nobody will fix it, we have at least a documentation of the problem. The package is orphaned an maintainer is "Debian QA Group".

    https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/crashmail https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=982204

    You may want to try one of the forks (or create
    your own) and proceed from there. Just an FYI.

    I think the repository from RJ Clay is the most recent one (but last time I checked as last year, IIRC).

    Hi Oli.

    Does it work ok in Linux/64bit? Jamnntpd does not, and they are
    related...

    I haven't tested it, but I believe so.

    Not good enough for me. Not a matter of religion. :)

    ;)

    Both are available for Debian in 64-bit. Do we have to file a bug
    report?

    In this debian 64bit I tried "sudo apt install crashmail", then created a very basic crashmail.prefs with one area

    area rbb.test.9 2:221/6 jam /bbs/piste/msgbase/rbb.test.9
    keepnum 99
    keepdays 99

    Had the area been created by crashmail or another tosser?

    crashmaint maint verbose
    Processing rbb.test.9...

    And the jam base is now broken. Hpt cannot work with it, Golded cannot work with it. :(

    Did you try to compare the .j?? files from before and after running crashmaint?

    Did you try to run crashmaint a second time over the broken JAM base?
