I have a similar bug open, 364061.
Fortunately for me but unfortunately for fixing this problem, my
connection seems to be trouble-free enough to trigger something
like this
only rarely, which means it's not something I could effectively
troubleshoot.
Mine's easy enough to repeat. My Fallback news server is reached thru
an ssh tunnel. Its configured on localhost:1119. If the tunnel is not
up then Get New Headers tasks stick in the Task Manager altho marked
100% complete.
ssh -L 1119:news.remote.whatever:119 login.remote.whatever
stderr also has a lot of "can't open socket" messages.
Agree with Duncan in that this probably is not a simple thing to fix
correctly. A band-aid might be simple, but the proper cure probably
rests in the definition and philosophy in the use of parallel servers.
When the tunnel has been down for a while, say a week, then I bring
it up and Get New Headers, it returns all of the deleted headers from
when only the Primary was available. I understand why as I don't
bring the Fallback online until I have a problem with the Primary.
Somehow I desire additional control. Sort of self-defeating for pan
to maintain a "deleted message list" when the original motivation for
deleting messages was to hold down memory use. Then again a rough
guess is that the current pan runs in 10% to 15% of the original
memory footprint when dealing with groups in excess of 1E6 messages.
