slrn seems to hang at these lines:

  514 write(3, "XHDR Path\r\n", 11)           = 11
  600 write(3, "XHDR Path\r\n", 11)           = 11
  686 write(3, "XHDR Path\r\n", 11)           = 11

and then you'll see this:

  1749 stat("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2295, ...}) = 0
  1750 write(1, "\33[2;5H\33[1m\33[37m\33[40m-        41:"..., 4096) = 4096
  1751 write(1, "flavored, new (?) ID system\33[6C\33"..., 1137) = 1137
  1752 select(5, [4], NULL, NULL, {10, 0})     = 0 (Timeout)
  1753 select(5, [4], NULL, NULL, {10, 0})     = 0 (Timeout)

it took slrn about six minutes to allow
entering the group for some reading. :-(

there are a LOT of stats on /etc/localtime -
the complete output of 2460 lines contains
464 stats on /etc/localtime alone,
mostly a dozen times in a block.

i'll be sending the full strace
output to you in another mail.
