I built discuss 1.6 from the Athena 7.3 sources on a PS/2
running AIX 1.2.1.

I typed "p new", then decided I didn't want to read all the
new transactions.  I then typed "q" in more, followed by ^C
when it appeared not to be exiting.  Discuss said:

	Error printing transaction: Interrupted function call

When I typed "ls new", discuss responded:

	discuss (list): Premature end of block Can't get meeting info

"p" printed a similar message.

I think discuss should reset the connection to the server when it
gets a read error.
