I'm having some problems using vnews under Xenix; At erratic times I get
the message "memory fault - core dumped". Then I have to log in as root in
another multiscreen and kill -1 the shell which faulted. This problem only
shows up when reading news with "vnews". My copy came on a SCO dist. disk
with the rest of my news software. It seems to appear when reading larger
newsgroups. I'm using:

SCO Xenix SYS V R. 2.3.2
USENET News ver. B 2.11
Fix # xnx064

Does anyone know what causes this problem, and how to fix it?
My other reader "rn" is a pain compared to "vnews".

Many Thanks for any info. you may have.
