While bopping along in vn, reading the news, (Thanks, bobm) I occasionally 
get shot down by what appears to be a bug in the program.  To wit:
If I attempt to read an article with a header line which is continued,
e.g.:

Keywords: This is a test.
	  This is only a test.

the program bombs, after showing all the header lines (I have header
display toggled off), with a floating exception, core dumped.  I note
that when this happens, there is evident, intermixed with the headers,
the line

Lines: 0

.  Since the "core" doesn't "dump" until the end of the screen, could
this problem be triggered by the percent left code in the builtin
pager?  The bug also appears to slightly mung the .newsrc table, as
after it happens, I get articles back to read again.

Any help will be appreciated.  Also, does anybody know if vn can track
cross-posted articles, so I don't have to read the dratted things more
than once?

Later,
