But everything else didn't.
Right now I'm back to 2.11. :-(

The last straw was rnews -U hanging on me. I killed it; rnews processed the
rest of the current batch and quit. Fine. Not very nice, but fine.
Then I started rnews -U again. It hung. I tried to kill it -- no reaction.
I sent it a SIGHUP -- processing rest of batcxh and quitting. Fine.
Then I started rnews -U again. It hung again (after some time).
kill didn't do anything. Kill -HUP didn't work. kill -TERM killed it
(behavior as above).  I would be very interested in how to achieve
that kind of behavior on one of my programs. ;-)

Actually, I guess I should apologize for the sorry state of the pathes 
I posted. (I tried to cancel the article; I hope it got through.)
However, I already mailed them to erik@snark.uu.net and didn't get a reply...
