Package: leafnode
Version: 1.11.3.rel-2
Severity: normal
1. short version :
------------------
On my PC, fetchnews 'hangs'[1] when there is an out-going message in
"/var/spool/news/out.going/". When I erase the file(s) in
"/var/spool/news/out.going/" fetchnews works without a problem.
When I use slrn and connect directly to 'news.easynet.be' without using
leafnode, I can post without a problem.
2. long version :
-----------------
[1] It really doesn't hang, when I wait long enough (severall minutes) I get
some time-out errors. This is what I get (syslog) after waiting ±20 minutes:
