Hello,

we have experienced a problem with nn 6.4.16 here. When the .newsrc
contains a lot of groups (appr. 1400, of which a lot are unsubscribed) nn
will start to act strange. It will truncate the .newsrc at a random point.

Did we hit an internal limit here? If so, what can be done to prevent this,
other than including (tidy-newsrc) in the init-file? Do the patches 17 and
18 solve this problem?

Could you send your replies via email, as I am not around until January?
Of course I will summarize.

Thanks in advance,

Johan Thole.
