Hello,
Is it me or does Pan v0.14.2.91 fail to handle large numbers of headers from a newsgroup? I
tried to download about 3,044,000 headers from alt.binaries.hdtv newsgroup. My computer choked
at about 1,900,000 headers when I came back from a 30 minutes break. HDD light was spinning, m
KDE v3.3.4 was frozen and not responsive. I had to kill Pan via SSH. Of course that was slow as
heck too. I eventually to kill X server because stuff was broken.
I am using an Athlon XP 2200+ with 1 GB of RAM. Isn't that enough or is Pan not optimized for
this big number of headers?
Thank you in advance. :)
Known problem, mostly fixed in the CVS version. Just run these commands
to build yourself a version that works (with a few random bugs).

Fails. Apparently Pan depends on older versions?
