From: utzoo!watmath!egisin Newsgroups: net.news.b Title: Isn't this a bug? Article-I.D.: watmath.3024 Posted: Wed Jul 14 23:20:10 1982 Received: Thu Jul 15 05:28:37 1982 The loop to read .newsrc into memory begins: while (!sigtrap && fgets(...) != NULL) If you interrupt readnews while it's in this loop it will only have a partial copy of .newsrc, which it writes out later. This seems to happen a lot at watarts (an 11/34). I fixed it by just removing `!sigtrap && '. Eric Gisin, watmath!watarts!eric
