Having installed the usenet "B" package on our IBM-PC/AT running SCO-
XENIX-286, we get an immediate "stack overflow, segmentation fault"
message when we try to run "Vnews", or anything else, for that matter.

We initially compiled using the suggested small impure model and the
optimizer in 86 mode.  Large model and 286 mode doesn't help, nor does
removing the optimizer option.  

This is the Microsoft C compiler, by the way.


Has anyone seen this problem?  Or is anyone else running SCO XENIX/286
on an AT with usenet?   Help appreciated....
