Hm.  I don't know what you mean by 'other server'.  If you told pan
about two different servers then pan will use both of them without
any further instructions from you.

"Other groups" just means any/all groups you are *not* subscribed to.
The list will include all (non-subscribed) groups on every server you
told pan about.

That may be a bug, of course.  But, I would try moving/renaming your
~/.pan2 directory and starting over -- it may be that something bad
happened to your .pan2 directory which is causing the crash.

Are you compiling pan from sources, or using a pre-compiled package?
