Details

When bugzilla goes to call system() to call the emailer, it does so assuming the
current path is where the script was executed.

Unfortunately, on my Apache 1.3.6 server, this is not so. This can be fixed
easily by inserting a chdir() in globals.pl like:

$::installedpath = "/home/bugzilla/public_html/";
chdir $::installedpath or die "can't change directory: $!\n";

I'm going to treat this problem as a bug in your apache set-up, and not a bug in
bugzilla.
Are you talking to _me_?  Are _you_ talking to me?  Reporter isn't, verif.
