   I've tried example above but, have not been able to crash it yet.  
   The system is SCO-ODT using the Microsoft Compiler.

   ------
   Another Problem ( Bug?)

   The thread files suffix a .th onto the file corresponding to the
   newsgroup.  When a newsgroup has a name that is two long for the
   filesystem mthreads can not build a thread file for it.
   Example:  "sco.opendesktop"  I'm sure that there are others.
