Subject: nn: nn dumps core on reading overview database

Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 00:10:10 +0200

Package: nn
Version: 6.5.0.b3.linux.1.1-01

NN dumps core on encountering a rather large over.view database file. This
is always for the same group "nl.muziek". It looks like a buffer-overflow
problem, but as I don't have the source, I can't verify this.
