We have a strange problem with 'rn', version 4.3.1.4 patchlevel 40,
compiled on a Sequent Symetry running under Dynix, BSD 4.2.
It will work fine in all normal usage, but if you suspend it with '^Z' from
csh, during reading an article mode only, it crashes when resumed with an
'illegal ioctl during read' message, this is rather annoying to me.
Has anyoe had this behaviou from their 'rn' ? Any fixes ?
Thanks in advance ...
