[news.software.anu-news] skim going to lala land when server goes down.

Hio there folks,
I am running 5.9a.  My source of news is a unix system and all my
newsgroups are served by it via wintcp/nntp.  When the news server
goes down while a skim is happening, the skim starts running away.  It
will go on forever until killed externally.
     
Anyone seen this before and/or have any fixes?
Thanks,
