Hi there, I reported some earlier crashes with trn when reading large, binary newsgroups, and have installed the tool 'valgrind' to debug this. I just ran a session like that, and I finally got the following message from valgrind: ==21070== More than 10000000 total errors detected. I'm not reporting any more. ==21070== Final error counts will be inaccurate. Go fix your program! ==21070== Rerun with --error-limit=no to disable this cutoff. Note ==21070== that errors may occur in your program without prior warning from ==21070== Valgrind, because errors are no longer being displayed. The last error before that, listed: ==21070== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==21070== at 0x805E83E: existing_listnum (in /home/vervoorn/bin/trn.new) ==21070== by 0x8050D43: rc_to_bits (in /home/vervoorn/bin/trn.new) ==21070== by 0x8074BC9: thread_open (in /home/vervoorn/bin/trn.new) ==21070== by 0x8066244: access_ng (in /home/vervoorn/bin/trn.new) ==21070== by 0x8064991: do_newsgroup (in /home/vervoorn/bin/trn.new) ==21070== by 0x807EE48: newsgroup_selector (in /home/vervoorn/bin/trn.new) ==21070== by 0x808B1F7: do_multirc (in /home/vervoorn/bin/trn.new) ==21070== by 0x808B937: main (in /home/vervoorn/bin/trn.new) This doesn't look good. What are the chances of someone doing some cleanup on trn? :) Failing that, what would be an alternative for trn? I've looked at slrn and tin, but don't really like them.
