Description Steve Evans 2002-10-14 16:19:49 UTC 
we are sometimes getting the following msg in our logs.. spamd is dying when 
this occurs :

Oct 14 20:13:25 ftoomsh spamd[11804]: Failed to run __UPPERCASE_75_100 
SpamAssassin test, skipping: ^I(Illegal division by zero 
at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Mail/SpamAssassin/EvalTests.pm line 
1631, <STDIN> line 310. )

this doesnt seem to be fixed in the latest version either (v2.50)..

unfortunatly I dont have the email which causes the problem.

I fail to see how that could happen given that the code protects against
divide by zero and that the numbers involved should all be integers (so it
shouldn't be an overflow/underflow problem either).  Maybe I'm missing
something, here.

Could you copy that function out of your running copy of EvalTests.pm
and attach it to this bug report (attach, not cut-and-paste)?  Thanks.

That might be the only way to find the bug (if there is one).

Looking at the source, that fn cannot get a divide by zero
in the current source.  So I'm closing this bug until the
reporter reports that it's still occurring with current CVS
(and can provide a sample mail to reproduce it ;)
