>Description:
ctm(1) sometimes did not free up all used resources (open pipes and
processes, heap memory). This happened whenever one of the passes
ended prematurely, and it became very apparent when running it on
a bunch of already applied deltas, resulting in a ``gunzip: resource
temporarily unavailable'' due to the maxproc # exhausted.
This patch fixes the concurrency problem, and adds a possibly useful -f switch
(which you can read about in the man page :-) ). It also removes the absolute
path from the invocation of ctm. I'll write a note about how to use a script
with sendmail and procmail or some such, and people can fix their PATH there.
BTW, this patch changes ctm_rmail.1, ctm_rmail.c and error.c in the ctm_rmail
directory.

I'm never going to generate one, so this is a guard against hackers mostly.

Obtained from:
1) malloc.h doesn't exits in 2.0.
2) Makefile.inc wasn't picked up so one of the build steps (install?)
failed.
3) LIBMD wasn't depended on.
4) "ctm foo" dumped core because "foo" doesn't have a '.' in it.

I updated the mkCTM stuff while I was at it anyway. /phk

subscriptions yet. Wait for the announcement.
CTM is my humble attempt to get -current out to people beyond TCP/IP
connections. This is for people with dial-up connections and such.
CTM can make a delta from one version to another of a source-tree, in
a efficient and verified way. Even if there are binary files in the
tree. It will even try to make the delta as small as possible.
It is OK with me if you yell "Bloating!" but I'll just forward your email
to some of the happy customers from CTM version 1, and let them tell you
what they think.
I will not put ctm into "make world" yet. For now it is just the logical
way to get the sources out to people who helps me test this.
