[news.misc] bug in ^n?

Perhaps this is a bug, perhaps I'm doing something I oughtn't. . . .

Why is it that, when I'm scanning a topic thread with control-n, my
connection hangs?  This seems to happen consistently when I press ^n
after reading the LAST entry in a thread.  I can't break out of it, and
rn doesn't seem to come back in a reasonable amount of time, so I don't
believe that it's just trying really hard to do what I want.

Is this YAUE (yet another user error)?  A known bug?  Can someone
suggest a fix (other than "don't do that")?
