[news.software.b] rn intrp overflow

rclayton@mcdurb.Urbana.Gould.COM (02/21/89)

We are experiencing the following problem with rn. When posting a followup
to an article that has a long references list, we get the following error
message:

	interp buffer overflow

It seems that the long references list on the article being followed up on
is what is breaking rn (because as each new followup is added, the message
id of the article is appended to the references list of the article).

Anyway, I can work around this by changing the macro for the follow up 
header so that it uses %r vice %R (%r specifies using the last reference
article ID only). This solution seems less than desirable.

Has anybody else seen this problem?


Thanks,
