The following sequence of actions consistently causes xrn to bomb:
Select "All groups"
Choose any group, select "Goto group"
Select "Quit"
At this point, the bottom part of the screen contains newsgroups, and
the top contains a list of articles from the group just quit...
Select any article in the top list
Either a dialogue box saying
Caught signal (11), cleaned up .newsrc and removed temp files
[abort] [exit]
appears, if you keep the mouse still... or the outline of such a box appears
if the mouse happens to be moving, with no text ever appearing in it... or
a unix generated message appears in the xterm window from which xrn was run
(I only got this last thing to happen once, so I don't remember the precise
message, but it had something to do with signal 11).
