I have been encountering a rather strange problem when attempting to read the
INFO-MAC digests with vnews.  The digest begins to read, but when I press the
space bar for "more", I get thrown out of vnews back to the $ prompt with the
message:
	floating exception encountered - core dumped

At that point, my terminal is in half, rather than full, duplex mode.  The
easiest way out is to turn off the terminal and switch it on again.

It is virtually impossible for me to read any of the INFO-MAC digests   
successfully. Is there some character in those files that could be responsible
for the problem?
