Please excuse me if I am posting this to the wrong newsgroup, but I have seen a few other bug reports here... System: VAX 11-750 running 4.3BSD News version 2.11 B nntp version 1.5 (tried compiling with cc and gcc with same result) The basic problem is this: I start up inews (the version that came with nntp 1.5, NOT the version distributed with readnews, et. al.) with: inews -h < /staff/dwho/.article and things *VERY* rapidly blew up and the computer crashed. It seems that on the second call to get_server() in inews.c the machine loses track of its stack somehow and starts vforking like MAD! The process slots fill up and that's the end. If someone has any idea what I am doing wrong or needs any more info, please e-mail to dwho@nmtvax.nmt.edu. I've tried asking my local news guru, but he appears to be stumped as well. I've fought too long and hard to let news die now! Thanks in advance, David Olix (dwho@nmtsun.nmt.edu)
