I upgraded to NS 3.0 a while back, and moved my .newsrc file and  
NewsGrazer 72.3 to the new environment.  For the first 2 weeks or so, it  
worked great.  Then intermittently at first, NewsG began to crash  
without warning.  Cuz it happened infrequently I shrugged it off, but  
last week it began crashing every time after running for about 15  
minutes, sooner if I did any posting.  Today it crashed in about 3  
minutes or less, and I couldn't even get a short post written.  Oh a  
whim I deleted my .newsrc file, and viola it now runs perfectly (witness  
this post!).  Has anyone else noticed this?  Does .newsrc get corrupted  
somehow, or so full of already-read article numbers that newsgrazer  
can't make sense of it?  Are there other "temporary" files it uses which  
get full somehow?
