Some programs broke at 16384 :(

However, at 32768 Turnpike (all versions) will work :)  but I have seen
reports that Agent has problems...  if anyone could give any detail
(version numbers it is fixed at, that sort of thing) then this would be
useful. Indeed any indications of problems with other newsreaders, and
associated workarounds would be be useful for the Helpdesk (and indeed
for peer-to-peer responses on Usenet).

I was checking only yesterday whether it was time to post such a request
to d.i.d (where I've crossposted and set followups) but had decided to
leave it a few more weeks. However, since you've raised the subject we
may as well discuss it now :-)
