maildrop on NetBSD/alpha 3.0

[Steve Kirk <steve%unixnation.net@localhost>]

Hi,

I'm having some problems with maildrop on the NetBSD/alpha
platform. Specifically have a Digital 5305 (AlphaServer 1200) running
3.0 generic:

$ uname -a
NetBSD radio.unixnation.net 3.0 NetBSD 3.0 (GENERIC) #0: Sun Dec 18
22:03:18 UTC 2005
riz%faith.netbsd.org@localhost:/home/builds/ab/netbsd-3-0-RELEASE/alpha/200512182024Z-obj/home/builds/ab/netbsd-3-0-RELEASE/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/GENERIC
alpha

I've built maildrop from pkgsrc-2006Q3, updated from CVS on 2006-11-14.
It appears to have compiled ok, certainly nothing that caused it to stop
compiling or required me to make any changes to get it to complete.

I can get it's version information, for example:

$ maildrop -v
maildrop 2.0.0 Copyright 1998-2005 Double Precision, Inc.
GDBM extensions enabled.
Courier Authentication Library extension enabled.
Enabled Berkeley DB instead of GDBM extensions.
Maildir quota extension enabled.

However, when trying to do something like:

maildrop -d user -V 7 < test.eml

or even just entering the maildrop command with no arguments, I get the
following:

$ maildrop -d user -V 7 < test.eml
maildrop: authlib: groupid=NNmaildrop: authlib: userid=NNNN
maildrop: Changing to /home/user

groupid and userid are equal to the corerct uid and gid of the user,
replaced with 'N' here.

I've not found anything useful via google, and there are no PRs I
can find that list a problem like this on alpha. Has anyone else
experienced a similar issue? Have they been able to resolve it? If not,
I guess I should submit a PR, or do I need to replicate it with
pkgsrc-current first?

I'm also confused by the fact that the package info, and tar.gz files
seem to indicate that this is maildrop 2.0.2, however, maildrop -v seems
to indicate that 2.0.0 is installed. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Steve
