I've not seen this myself. If it is noffle causing this (and not an over-enthusiastic fsck - had any disk troubles lately?), then the news server name is getting corrupted in memory somehow. It's been a while since I tried running noffle under valgrind. I'll try again and see if anything interesting transpires. -- Jim Hague - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Never trust a computer you can't lift. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
