Subject: Pine v4.44 accessing msdnaa.general

Hi,

I've setup a caching NNTP proxy (Delegate) to access various newsgroups,
e.g. msdnaa.general. This newsgroup contains more than 2000 articles,
which are never deleted, so I've read.

When I access the newsgroup with either Free Agent (Win95) or KNode
(Linux), there is some longer delay (about 15 seconds), but all article
headers are displayed.
Accessing the _same_ proxy (even simultaneously, thus, the active list is
not regenerated, but re-used by the proxy) both PC-Pine v4.44 (Win95) and
Pine v4.44 (Solaris 8) stall for over 300 seconds; eventually GPF
(PC-Pine) or telling me that the mail box has been closed due to access
error (Pine/Solaris), in which case all >2000 messages displayed with
empty header, zero size and marked deleted.

Also, switching between newsgroups via the TAB key is slow, very slow
compared to manually hopping to the next group using '<' <cursor_right>
<enter>.

Bye,
