Re: [Nmh-workers] problem compiling nmh 1.6 on linux gentoo

Well, that did not work, it kept regenerating the file all over again, so I
emptied the directory and untarred the file and it worked.  I think my
mistake was doing a make clean, but you still might want to fix a bug.

Thanks.

That's just a C++ style comment that shouldn't really be in C code
(but some C compilers treat just like a C comment)

Just edit sbr/dtimep.c and change

        num_to_alloc = 1; // After all that talk, this was set to 1
anyways...

to either just

        num_to_alloc = 1;

or
        num_to_alloc = 1; /* After all that talk, this was set to 1
anyways...*/

whichever you prefer.   If any other // comments are there to be found,
fix those in a similar way...
