System name:		momoney
Type and version:	KN02ca 7.6G
Display type:		PMAG-DV 

What were you trying to do?  

After doing an "lsm" in the text client of discuss, I Ctrl-c'd out of
it and got the follwoing message:

 Interrupted system call Can't read transaction info

Then, I tried to list the last 20 transactions, and got the following
message:

 Premature end of block Can't get meeting info

Then I was able to try to go to a meeting: 

 g harass

and it appeared to be successfull, but it ultimately was not: 

discuss:  g harass
MIT_harassment meeting:  3 new, 820 last.
discuss (goto): Unknown code D 0 Looking for non-deleted transaction
discuss:  q

And it's even hanging when I try to quit from the application. 

What's wrong: 

The program in ultimatley hung, and I ended up having to Ctrl-c out of
the hang, and have to start the application over again.


What should have happened:

It would be nice it it Ctrl-c'd nicely in the middle of the lsm, or at
least have a mechinism that would stop the listing of meetings so you
didn't have to quit out of the application.


Please describe any relevant documentation references:



Thanks!
