[news.software.b] Bug in 2.11/14 -- anybody seen this one?

erict@flatline.UUCP (j eric townsend) (07/24/88)

I've been having continual problems with news2.11/14 ever since
I first installed it.  The problem involves the 'l' option.

I got this one today:

readnews: frmread: out of memory

and news exited back to shell.

Other problems I've had are the news articles being listed goofy:

123  foobar blah blah lbah
124  blha lbah blha
127  blah blah blah
12387349873245871234987234 blah blah blah
press <return>

This is when there are more than a few articles that I haven't read.
Obviously the really long number is wrong....

Also, I get core dumps about 1 in 20 times that I do 'l'.

Just thought somebody may have fixed this so that I wouldn't have to.
