Hello, slrn aborts lately when starting. Did take me a moment before I
figured out what the problem was. The problem is trying to use a ssl
connection to the news server. It worked flawless, until some files are
upgraded on my Debian Buster system. When I change to settings, in slrnrc,
to the same server without ssl, it work again.
