Mentioned this on the leafnode mailing list, but it was suggested
that trying to fix it there is the wrong end and I should post
here.

Been having trouble with what I assume are poorly named groups or
some sort of glitch on my upstream feed - motzarella or
iinet.net.au, my ISP.

Every time I start slrn with these new group names at the end of
.newsrc :

-----8<-----
+00000000.0000:alt.binaries.dvd.french.nzb!
+00000000.0000:alt.pl.matematyka!
a+00000000.0000:alt.binaries.dvd.midnightmovies!
-----8<-----

slrn crashes at the startup.  I delete these last 3 entries and
it works fine. 

I have posted this problem before, but only just now realised
what is causing the problem I think.
