I am having a problem with Xrn 6.17 that when a new user starts up a session, 
the thing will allocate over 30 Meg of RAM, and bring the users system to
it's knees.  If these were 1 users workstations, no problem - only the 1 user
would be affected, and we could live with it.  We are running X terminals, and
hence one xrn session can essentially halt up to 50 people.

Configuration:

xrn 6.17 built for nntp support.
Sun 4 architecture (4/490, 64MB RAM)
Full News feed - 1800+ groups.

I have built xrn from two separate sets of source and see the same thing. 6.15
did not appear to have this problem, but I really don't want to back down 
if I don't have to . . .

Anyone else seen this, and if so, could you point me to a patch or whatever?
I don't see any configurable item which could affect this, and I doubt that it
is nntp related since nn, rn, and trn all run with nntp with no oddities.



??????? - HELP!
