A user on one of the systems I administrate managed to heartily crash 
2.1.5-Stable by running tin. It seemed pretty wierd to me, but it happend...
He ran tin with the option that lets you dump out an an entire newsgroup 
to disk...
Anyone else had this problem?
Anyone feel like trying to replicate this problem?
I haven't been able to do a full analisys of what's wrong with the 
machine because I'm remote, but whenI get some more info, I'll let 
everyone know..
