From: "Mark W. Eichin" <eichin@MIT.EDU>
To: bug-sipb@MIT.EDU
System type, version: SunOS Release 4.1.2
System name: deathtongue
What's wrong:
deathtongue+% rn
(Revising soft pointers--be patient.)
Unread news in comp.unix.bsd 34 articles
Unread news in comp.sys.handhelds 7 articles
Unread news in rec.models.railroad 115 articles
Unread news in comp.soft-sys.khoros 117 articles
Unread news in gnu.emacs.vm.info 14 articles
etc.
Too many lines in .newsrc
Exit 1
deathtongue+% wc -l .newsrc
1515 .newsrc
Some research indicates that a 1500 line .newsrc works, but a 1501
line .newsrc fails. Hard Coded Limits are Evil...
What should have happened:
I should have gotten some work done instead of reading NetNews :-)
