I tried to email davison@borland.com, to no avail, so I am mailing this
problem to bugs@freebsd.org:


Dear Wayne,

trn3,6 works fine on all newsgroups except misc.jobs.offered.

Here is the error I get when running trn3.6:

****** 35048 unread articles in misc.jobs.offered -- read now? [ynq]
trn: out of
 memory!

Caught an internal error--.newsrc restored


The message is issued when I reply by either a space, or a y or a <CR>.
My system is running 3.0-970522-SNAP, I have 128 meg of ram, and
at time when I run trn, I have:

{307root@sargon}# vmstat
 procs      memory     page                    disks      faults

You can see there are plenty of free pages!!

Notice the amount of freemem!!!!
Also, notice that only 18% of swap is used!!!

So why is trn failing to read the misc.jobs.offered newsgroup???


Best regards,

Joe

P.S.: Netscape mailer really screws up the character spacing, so
if the output from the vmstat and top do not match the
header labels,  I did'nt do it :) :)
