Subject: Re: NNTPC: Re: Trouble with old news reader bug ??
Hi Peter,
Thanks a lot for your quick answer.
I did the following operations :
Open WinVN with nntpcache
open the newgroups comp.protocols.smb
and it crashes just before the end of retrieving. I think the crash
occurs when WinVN is sorting the article list.
I as an macfee anti-blue screens so I can get a view of the window
but later I need to kill WinVN
Then I do :
Open WinVN with NewsCache
open the newgroups comp.protocols.smb
read an article
close the window
close WinVN
You will found as attachement
log_news.txt with the log (debug level) of each news cache.
view_reader.zip which contents a picture of the newsgroup window
of WinVN. You can see that the list of articles and notice that the
two first are irrealistic whith nntpcache 5 sorry for the size of
pictures).
Best regards
