Re: Improving trn: LISTGROUP with no arguments vs. ...?

[Please do not mail me a copy of your followup]

=?UTF-8?Q?Julien_=C3=89LIE?= <iulius@nom-de-mon-site.com.invalid> spake the secret code
<vggfds$3bf0$1@news.trigofacile.com> thusly:

Could you try to send a LISTGROUP command to fr.soc.politique with trn
connected to my news server? (news.trigofacile.com, available in reading)
It would be interesting to know the result.

Unfotunately trn (what's installed on my ISP, not my local build) core
dumps:

Entering fr.soc.politique:
Getting overview file. [**************************** buffer overflow
detected ***: terminated
Aborted (core dumped)

There may also be a bandwidth issue?

In my case with the long delay in retuning the result from LISTGROUP
is not a bandwidth issue; both the client and the server are running
within the same local network.

When I watch it with strace it's about one article per second and the
read buffer is so empty that it's literally reading just one response
line per call to read.

Very slow for just an article number (not the contents of a whole article).

Yep.
