[nos-bbs] JNOS Crashing Due To REWRITE File "Errors" - SOLVED?

[Ray Quinn]

Hello, everyone.More than a week ago, I moved JNOS (KI6QCY) (and LinBPQ, W6RAY) from a 32-bit Debian 10 to a 64-bit Debian 13.Over the past week or so, I have been having issues with JNOS crashing during a forwarding session. Sound familiar? I had the same issues 15 years ago but could never find the cause when searching online. Either I found the issue and didn't report back or it mysteriously disappeared as quickly as it appeared. I found numerous messages I had sent to this group, but I never found the answer. (Some going back to 2008)
During all of this "research," I found suggestions to use gdb, which I used. There were a variety of results, but tonight I ran it again and gdb show that there were more than 800 errors, some mentioning issues with libc.so.6. However, the majority of them were almost identical to this line (only the addr= was unique)
#794 0x00005555555a9ee7 in rewrite_address_new (addr=0x55555578ab40 "SITREP at USA.noam", filecode=0,    fromsender=0x55555572f620 "p\366rUUU") at mailutil.c:354
I searched the mailutil.c at line 354 and the note above the code was:
"If there remains an 'r' character on the line, repeat everything by recursing."
I edited my rewrite file and removed the 'r' characters. JNOS ran just fine, didn't crash and it forwarded the messages. I then exited JNOS and ran the backtrace, which showed no errors. 
My question is this:  Is the 'r' character necessary as in:  *.noam  $1.noam r    ?
