Socket error: Broken pipe


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. post a lot of data
2. wait
3. error occurs after posting 2 to 3 GB of data




i found this info
http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa-packages/2005/03/msg00274.html
which describes the same error as experienced by a debian user, but i can't get his patch to work.  after applying his patch i receive the error...

nntp.c:109: error: conflicting types for '_nntp_post'
nntp.c:109: note: an argument type that has a default promotion can't match an empty parameter name list declaration
nntp.c:81: error: previous implicit declaration of '_nntp_post' was here

make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[1]: *** [main] Error 2
make: *** [opt] Error 2

!!! ERROR: net-nntp/newspost-2.1.1-r101 failed.
Call stack:

i don't have the programming knowledge to fix it.  a problem with the way a variable is declared.

Please try with the new revision -r2 which I've just committed to CVS (you'll need to add it to package.keywords as it's marked ~amd64, of course).
