I see something similar when trying to D/L all the articles in the alt.binaries.multimedia.startrek group (32000+ 50 MByte articles, millions of messages, provider Giganews). After a while Pan (0.102) starts a swapping frenzy and never completes, but does not crash. CPU usage is very low. It eats up all memory and thats that. This is probably a borderline case on a memory starved machine (1.5G RAM, 2 G swap, linux 2.6.17.6) and those are difficult to solve without reordering/redesigning the data structures and their access methods. my two cents (and still using 0.14.90) cvs4me2 _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
