I think I did fix this one... At list.c/line 242: sscanf (p, "%lu %127[^\r\n]", &n->creation_time, sbuf); n->creation_time is declared as time_t (unsigned int <=> 32bit on alpha) but "%lu" forces sscanf to read a long int (64bit) into n->creation_time corrupting the newsgroup structure and producing lots of "unaligned access" errors. my solution: changed %lu to %u (don't know if it works on other systems) still receiving lots of: nntpcached[13346]: nntpcache.c:451:Illegal seek: Memory currupt nntpcache.c:451:Bad file number: Memory currupt but things look better. pac
