the stack "netnews reader 1.2.1" sometimes gives the message "too much recursion" when I try to move from one message to the next. Hypercard points to the following line of code from function vectorjoin in the stack script: put sparserange(midlow,midhigh) into midpart is this a bug? any fixes?

It is possible for the stack to run into this problem if you have a particularly complex list of read-versus-unread messages. (Yes, it's a bug.) The easiest thing to do is simplify the message list. Doing "mark all messages as read" will essentially reset everything for that group. It may be that it's still remembering that you haven't read messages which aren't even around any more.
