Looks like someone is mangling certain long 'From:' lines. Our mail redistribution to local non-Unix sites throws these in my lap. I usually ignore them, but I decided to post this for the edification of others: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Path: utah-cs!ut-sally!husc6!think!ames!hc!beta!cmcl2!brl-adm!adm!jason%violet.Berkeley.EDU@BERKELEY.EDU From: .EDU>@brl-adm.ARPA Newsgroups: comp.unix.wizards Subject: Re: UNIX-WIZARDS Digest V3#151 Message-ID: <7360@brl-adm.ARPA> Date: 13 May 87 16:57:56 GMT Sender: news@brl-adm.ARPA Lines: 5 When you are stuck in the loop, suspend the game, then kill -HUP it. When you restart the auto-save game, everything should be okay.

This is a long standing problem with BRL's mail-to-netnews gateway. Occasionally, it loses while trying to parse an address. Erik E. Fair ucbvax!fair fair@ucbarpa.berkeley.edu
