well, xrn is in the sipb locker and is a usenet utility; you would
normally contact usenet@athena.mit.edu with problems like this. 

however, what you state suggests to me that some other process(es) on
your workstation are hogging resources.  do a "ps agux" and look for
"large" processes.  if all else fails, a reboot should clean you right
up :)
