Yes, this really is all.  If I hit Y to reconnect:

<<<: 412 Not in a newsgroup
XOVER: OK
nntp command: LIST overview.fmt
 >>>: LIST overview.fmt
nntp_open: BEGIN
nntp_open: news.tin.org

My guess is the remote site closed the connection (the above error)  
while I was waiting for the response to LIST overview.fmt cmd.   So  
why can't tin keep this connection?

Very strange.

Thanks again!
