Subject: Pine uses CPU time

Would anyone care to speculate what a detached pine process on
BSDi would be doing to consume two thousand CPU minutes?

I see several of these regularly on a system I visit.

Spamming? Junk Mailing? Some kind of hack? The amount of outbound
mail traffic doesn't seem *that* big... Someway to read news?

Any thoughts would be appreciated, particularly by E-mail.

Presumably looping on some event that is never going to happen...

Is this happening with version 3.95?

If so, please sig QUIT one of the suckers and send a stack trace 
to [email-masked]
