Hi,

I have made some more build changes and bug fixes, among them
backporting the "no longer strip spam-header from body" fix and adding
error detection to our input function; on a read error, we exit(2) right
after a perror(3).

"make check" now skips tests when the mktemp fails (exit 77 magic for
automake), so that "make check" will not compromise the build on systems
without mktemp, to avoid user confusion. Should someone have a mktemp
command on Solaris, make check's t.integrity will fail because Solaris'
head(1) command does not deal with binary data that I'm testing
against. I've added my own replacement to the main trunk, but I'm not
merging the whole test suite changes back to the 0.8.0 branch. The fixes
are there and have been tested manually.

Assorted other fixes are visible from the CVS logs. Let me recommend
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/bogofilter/bogofilter/?only_with_tag=bogofilter-0_8_0#dirlist
-- the logs are available by clicking on a file name (leftmost column).

I have successfully tested "make check" of the current 0.8.0.rc2 on the
following operating systems  (with Berkeley DB version):

I can lay 0.8.0.rc2 in David's hands now in good faith I made every
reasonable effort to make 0.8.0 a much better release than 0.7.6 was.

I've tagged the current state as "bogofilter-beta-0_8_0-check1" for
reference. I believe I merged all appropriate changes to the main trunk.

HAND,
