Sorry about the lack of clarity!

no I was just using the mouse to navigate, selecting the article in
the header pane - which for me moves to the body pane - clicking on
the header pane again to take me back and opening the child
article. I've done this a number of times with
address@hidden in
alt.binaries.pictures.fractals but I doubt if that is unique.

Having tried again I think it may also be dependent upon what else is
queued - there's an article being downloaded *very* slowly from
biggulp.readfreenews.net and a header download in progress at the
point where it locks

None, fairly certain on this - at the moment I can't replicate the
lockup (but I'd managed to get 2 lockups this morning whilst trying
things before sending this reply) but I'm sure it will happen again as
soon as I send this - and the traceback suggests it's waiting for
something that isn't happening
