>Description:
	When saving attachments or sending attachments in pine, pine often
dies with messages like:
main program: Undefined PLT symbol "fwrite" (reloc type = 26, symnum = 126)

The exact message varies; I seem to remember seeing "strcpy" and/or
"strlen" as the symbol too. When sending attachments,
main program: Undefined PLT symbol "fread" (reloc type = 26, symnum = 41)
is a common error.

The error doesn't consistently happen, but larger attachments are more
likely to trigger the problem. In fact, I've tried to save a 1.7MB
attachment ten times, without any success. With smaller attachments
(100K or so), it'll usually work after a few tries (but I usually just
pipe to munpack now).

This has been going on for quite some time; I originally complained
about it in NetBSD 1.4P (November 29)
<http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-alpha/1999/12/02/0000.html>
It's been reported by others too:
<http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-alpha/2000/03/15/0000.html>
<http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-alpha/2000/05/18/0005.html>

I'm using pine-4.21 from pkgsrc, compiled November 25, 1999. I haven't
tried recompiling it, but I can give that a shot and see what
happens. However, the same binary worked just fine with older kernels.

Kernel and userland compiled on June 25, 2000.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to save or send a large attachment in pine.
>Fix:
	No idea... some obscure pmap problem still lurking about?
