Hello! I have been getting frequent crashes in trn since moving
to a new news server at netnews.attbi.com. They seem to
happen when entering or leaving a newsgroup. Except for the kernel,
my system has not changed for several months, and this version of trn
worked fine with my previous news server at @home.... ie, libraries,
trn build, applications, and etc have not changed. I also recompiled
trn for this test, same result....
nn, windoze newsreaders, etc, do not seem to crash.
Another symptom (same or different problem??) is that sometimes
the newsgroup list will show some messages but when I enter
the newsgroup there will be none.
Any comments appreciated. Anything I can do to help debug this???
