It's incredibly stable on my machine. I wonder if perhaps reindexing
the group in newsbase might solve the problem. It's possible we
should force newsbase to rebuild all the index/overview files when
0.20 is upgraded to. I'm not sure if this is possible, though... the
only documentation for some of this stuff is the newbase source, and
I don't have that to hand :-)

What more often happens is that it leaves it's "errors" file open. If
you use one of the filecloser programs around, it should then reload.
