Hi David.  From your headers I can see you're running the same version of
pan.git that I'm using.

I'm seeing a bug that very rarely halts pan with a "corrupted doubly-linked
list" error, and I'm trying to track it down.

These days I run pan in gdb because for a while I was seeing segfaults in
almost every pan session, but lately it's been the corrupted list problem
instead of the segfault problem.  (I guess that's a good thing :)

I see the corrupted-list error while downloading gazillions of new articles
in binaries groups and, as I said, the error may not occur until hours of
downloading have elapsed.  Very annoying :(
