I think I've found a bug in trn 4.0-test76. When I run "trn -c", and the .newsrc file contains a line of length exactly 28 characters, then some memory allocation problem causes .newsrc to be replaced with a file that contains garbage text. For example, if my .newsrc contains the following lines (the first has length 28): comp.ai.neural-nets: 1-53695 sci.agriculture.fruit: 1-3354 rec.puzzles: 1-155831 and I run "trn -c", then .newsrc is replaced with the lines: /u/jweening/.rnlast:18650 /u/jweening/.rnlast /u/jweening:.rnlast A workaround I've found is to take out the following portion of rcstuff.c (beginning on line 530: if (checkflag) /* no extra mallocs for -c */ np->rcline = some_buf; else Here is the configuration of the trn that I'm using: Trn version: 4.0-test76 (Apr 2, 2001). Configured for NNTP (plus individual local access). News source group #1: ID default: Newsrc /u/jweening/.newsrc. News from server lydian.ccrwest.org. Dynamic active file. Copy of remote group desc. file (refetch: 4 hours). Overview files from /tmp. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
