Howdy,

I've just discovered something weird, that has been happening for a month or two. Probably since I moved from x86_64 to aarch64.

When outbound FTN mail is created, sbbsecho is correctly placing the .?lo file in the zone oubound dir, and triggering binkit to send it.

It seems when binkit calls the remote, when it goes to open the .?lo file to see what to send, its gone. I can re-produce this pretty easily, its happening for all my FTN networks.

As a consequence, no mail gets sent.

Here is an except from syslog:

I just rebuilt sbbs today, as my last build was about a month or two old -
still the same.

Why the error 11, and what would cause the file to disappear?

If I create the .?lo manually, and send it interactively with jsexec binkit -l ... , the file doesnt disappear (until the mail is sent), and the mail gets transfered correctly.

I think this is related to me switching to aarch64. I'm using the same config, and the same build process as I have always used.
