I've just found that xrn (X11R4 with one xrn-patch) cannot 
edit and post messages. I couldn't even post a gripe (most
likely for the same reason). The symptoms were as follows:
the editing window would accept a small number of characters
(about one line) upon which both the editing window and
the main xrn window would hang. Killing both windows from
twm would still leave xrn itself hanging in the background
even though the windows would be gone.

I must admit that this certainly _does_ enforce short and
concise messages - but isn't it a touch too drastic?

If you have a patch or knowledge about how to fix the
problem reply to the net and/or to me:
