Forte Free Agent 1.11/32 for Windows has a problem with the NEWGROUPS
command. A NEWGROUPS command looks like this:
NEWGROUPS 00225 172400 GMT
The year is only a single digit.
I suggest the following modification to src/newgroups.c of nntpcache-2.4.0b3:
40c40
< if (len < 5 || atoi(arg1) == 0)
---
> if (len < 6 || atoi(arg1) == 0)
I would also suggest to change line 47 of src/newgroups.c as follows:
47c47
< arg1[len-4] = '\0';
---
> arg1[len-4] = '0';
arg1 (containing the year string) should be terminated according to C rules.
Bye,
Robert
