As the number of newsgroups has expanded I have ran into problems with the vn newsreader. I find that if the /usr/lib/news/active file contains more than 599 entries that vn bails out with the message "can't allocate memory for string storage" I have tried compiling the source (anybody got the right makefile for this on an Intel System 310 running xenix 3.5?) but can't get the code generated to match the original binary I have had that work so well so long. It looks to me like the malloc call fails in 'storage.c' but I don't know enough about how malloc works to understand why it fails in this instance. Anyone else run into this and have a solution (or ideas?)? Thanks, -- George Rachor Jr. Rachor Data Center, Beaverton, OR 97005 racsys!george@flight.hf.intel.com
