The fix is to declare optind somewhere that the compiler will see it when compiling hypermail.c. I just wanted to get the thing compiled with minimal effort, so all I did was stick the following line near the top of hypermail.c:

     extern int optind, opterr;

I copied that right out of the man page. You're right, there should be a configure check.

Okay, great. Good luck. Here's the stack trace of the core dump:

  #2  0x1182c in strreplace (present=0x0,
