Today (but not for the first time) newsbeuter segfaulted when reading
the feeds.
A little debugging with gdb showed that the problems are somewhere
around DNS resolution. So I checked the hosts of all feed URLs with
'host' and 'dig', and one of them timed/errored out. Manual checks
confirmed the DNS problem:


        [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ host planet-fr.debian.net                 
        ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

        [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ host planet-fr.debian.net ns.austria.eu.net
        Using domain server:
        Name: ns.austria.eu.net
        Address: 192.92.138.35#53
        Aliases: 

        planet-fr.debian.net is an alias for www.freexian.org.
        www.freexian.org is an alias for arrakeen.freexian.org.
        arrakeen.freexian.org has address 212.85.152.62
        ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
        ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

        [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dig ns freexian.org @ns.austria.eu.net

        ;; ANSWER SECTION:
        freexian.org.           119803  IN      NS      arrakeen.ouaza.com.
        freexian.org.           119803  IN      NS      ns6.gandi.net.


After removing the URLs with planet-fr.debian.net from
~/.newsbeuter/urls the segfaults stopped.


Cheers,
gregor
