this is what happens - use a 'trimmed' newsrc with less than
PIPELINE_LIMIT (30) groups and a small setting for reread_active_file_secs
in your tinrc to reproduce. start tin with -n and enter a group, now
stop touching it till the connection times out (server dependant
usualy something around 10mins) ... try to continue using tin et
voila:

here is the NNTP-log (-D 1)

and now we're stuck. another problem ith the code is that we only
resend the last cmd but if running with -n we would need to resend
all LIST ACTIVE cmds. any willing to look into this (this might be a
general reconnection problem as I also noticed reconnection problems
without "-n").
