This is mostly posted in the hopes that bugs are being taken down somewhere in a "to do" list even though I know that current activity is nil... The following sequence inevitably puts gnews into an infinite loop: I exit from one newsgroup, having m(arked) the last article and q(uit) from it (btw, it should be easier to mark articles and get out of the newsgroup...), and enter the next, which happens to kill all of the articles in it. It will kill the articles over and over again. The problem does not appear if this second group contains articles which pass my kill files. It also does not appear when the first group has no marked articles left over (i.e., most of the time, there is no problem at all when all new articles in a group get killed -- it is only when the group just read prior to it has marked unread articles).
