	I have not been able to send email to the author of
	trn, so I am resorting to the bugs@freebsd.org.

	I instrumented trn3.6 in the safemalloc() and saferealloc()
	to say how much memory it was attempting to allocate. Here is
	the output:

****** 107423 unread articles in misc.jobs.offered -- read now? [ynq] util.c:safemalloc():Failed to malloc 196577680 bytes
trn: out of memory!

Caught an internal error--.newsrc restored


	Why trn attempts to malloc this many bytes is not
	known :)

	Cheers,

	Joe
