James,

	I had the same problem.  I know a little more than you it seems
about yacc and lex :) , but still couldnt solve the problem.  i was wondering
if it wsa just perhaps problems between free version of the interpreters
and the "real" versions.

	Anyhow, I use "tin".  You can get a bonified freebsd-compatible 
version of the tin source from quadrophenia.ucdavis.edu (or quad.ucdavis.edu)
via anaymous ftp in /pub/FreeBSD/src/tin1.22.tar.gz.

	btw - i  have it running off of an nntp server on another machine,
I have never used tin as a local news reader.
