[Pan-users] Runtime error when posting messages

[Dick Baker]

For the past two days, every time I try to post a message to a 
newsgroup, Pan responds with this error message:

        Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
        This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it
        in an unusual way.  Please contact the application's
        support team for more information.

When I click OK in that window to clear it, Pan crashes entirely.

Am using 0.140, Chocolate Salty Balls for several years now without 
problems, but suddenly this.  Anybody have any idea what could be going on?
