I get the same result when I try to use the 'g' command to do a group
reply. Newalias doesn't seem to have any problem digesting my large (>90 
names) all list but gives a segment violation and core dumps if anyone
trys to reply using the 'g' command.

Is there some possibility that the two are related ???
