Well, I think I got it :). There is an extra variable (char
*tproppatch) that is being used in deadprops.c (uninitialized... I would
expect a warning to catch that... anyone looking at those things?) that
was supposed to be another one of a similar spelling (proppatch). When
you don't send a log message using -F or -m the server has the pointer
at 0x0, when you do it gets shoved forward to another region and tends
to get initialized to some low value. As the check that is misusing it
only compares it to NULL, this works in the cases where the log message
is there. Below is a patch to fix this (is there somewhere better I
should be sending stuff like this?).
Also, this reminded me of something: shouldn't it offer to open vi or
something if there isn't a log message specified using -F or -m?
