[news.software.b] Remote news reader dies unexpectedly

dasson@sunova.ssc.gov (John Dassonville) (02/01/91)

I am running NNTP-1.5.10 / C-News 15-Dec-1990 on a SPARC 1 with SunOS 4.1.
When I run rn on an SGI 4D/220 with IRIX 3.3.2 to remotely access my news
server, rn aborts with the message 'rrn: Unexpected close of server socket'
everytime I save or reply to an article.  If the article is the last one in
the particular newsgroup, it proceeds to mark every newsgroup in my .newsrc
file as bogus.  Xrn also aborts on the remote machine for no apparent reason

Does anyone have any ideas?
