Hello, I downloaded leafnode-1.0 from ftp.troll.no (leafnode is a small
news system for a small site, sounds just great!) but am having a bit
of difficulty getting it going from my suppliers newsfeed - are there
any other NetBSD users using it?

the specific problem that I'm having is, it connects to their news server,
lists all the newsgroups and dumps core before saving it to disk - the next
time it works just fine, except that there are no newsgroups that it knows
about..  now, if I frob its working files to make it know about some
newsgroups, it seems to work fine with those.  I was wondering if there was
some problem with the size of the newsgroup list, demon take all newsgroups
and the active file is 900k..
