[news.sysadmin] Problems getting Vnews running

root@lilink.UUCP (The Super User) (01/06/89)

Although this problem has existed on my system for quite some time I have
never felt the need to try to fix it until now. Rn has sufficed for 
all my purposes but some users prefer vnews. 

The problem is that when I run vnews I get "Killed" and the program 
terminates. I of course get a core dump. Not being much of a C hacker
I am pretty much baffled as to what it could be. 

The hardware is an Altos 1086 (286 box) running Altos Xenix. Anyone
know of this problem and have a fix for it? Possible causes?
Thanks.
