Comment 1 PeterBloomfield 2001-12-27 22:59:57 UTC

I don't follow this stack trace, but it suggests that strcmp may be
failing on NULL string arguments. A patch follows to protect against
these, and also to fix up some problems with the subfolder rename
code.

Files
libbalsa/mailbox_imap.c:
 - correct a misleading comment;
 - remove two space characters from a string.
src/folder-conf.c:
 - add `old_dir' member to structure, to remember the 
   original imap pathname of the subfolder and pass it to
   libbalsa_imap_rename_subfolder;
 - use a macro to protect strcmp;
