    Is it something to do with slrn or an issue with the news server? I use slrn >> 1.0.3.

    Looks like the overview database on the server got corrupted.

    That was quick. Thanks. My score file was really big. I just cut out a lot
    of it and now (at least) opening groups is a lot faster.

    So, I guess, eternal-september will figure this out.
