If one happens to be the first user logging in on a particular filesystem after it was mounted, one generally notices a slowness of response on the first write that requires modifying blocks. If vnews happens to be the process that does this, it not only waits forever, it also sucks up a lot of cpu time until an eventual core dump. Just one of those ordinary-run-of-the-mill generic grade bugs. Also a considerable annoyance after reading buckets of articles only to find your ".newrc" file in a puddle of muck lying at the bottom of your directory. Randy King AT&T-CP@MG ihnp4!mgweed!rjk
