I've been contentedly using trn ever since release date, and applied
the first patch when it came (quite some time ago.)

Recently, I've been noticing the problem which used to be in rn,
when the number of groups was larger than MAXRCLINE from common.h.
But it is certainly not the same cause.

Ie, I get this complaint from trn:

********   1 unread article  in news.software.nntp--read now? [+ynq] guw.mug
Newsgroup uw.mug does not exist!

********   1 unread article  in news.software.nntp--read now? [+ynq]

But my setup defines the following which I think is the default:

#define MAXRCLINE 1500
#define HASHSIZ 1693

which is much more than active or my newsrc:

$ wc -l /usr/local/lib/news/active .newsrc
    1075 /usr/local/lib/news/active
    1046 /home/clover/cu/dep/.newsrc

The group does exist but is not in my newsrc

$ grep uw.mug /usr/local/lib/news/active
uw.mug 0000000000 00001 m

I haven't tried very hard to fix this yet, cos I haven't had time.
Any helpers out there?

Cheers,
