I won't go into the circumnstances under which I found this bug, but it
resulted in a single line error message over 15000 characters long.

The suggested fix, in readr.c:

***************
*** 998,1004
   		dirp = opendir(dirname(groupdir));
   		if (dirp == NULL) {
  			if (errno != EACCES)
! 				fprintf(stderr,"Can't open %s", dirname(groupdir));
   			goto badart;
   		}
   		nextnum = rflag ? minartno - 1 : ngsize + 1;

--- 998,1004 -----
   		dirp = opendir(dirname(groupdir));
   		if (dirp == NULL) {
  			if (errno != EACCES)
! 				fprintf(stderr,"Can't open %s\n", dirname(groupdir));
   			goto badart;
   		}
   		nextnum = rflag ? minartno - 1 : ngsize + 1;
