Hi folks,

it seems to me as if there's some problem with KNode (CVS, lastt Saturday). 
Until now, everything has worked fine, but today the following happened:

Trying to get a list of articles in the groups comp.os.linux.setup and 
comp.os.linux.hardware crashed KNode. In the status bar, it says 
"Sorting...", and I still can use the mouse to click on other newsgroups, 
however, it doesn't take long until KNode totally hangs and has to be killed. 
From the newsgroups I am subscribed to, only the two groups mentioned above 
started showing that problem today.

The problem is still there after restarting KNode, and it even occurs on my 
other machine with the same version of KNode.

When KNode hangs in the way I have described above, and I have a look at 
what's going on on my system, then the processes "tee" and "knode" (of 
course) eat up a lot of CPU time. "tee" actually eats more than knode itself.

Since my news system works with leafnode running on my server machine, I 
tried to make sure that the problem is not caused by leafnode by trying to 
access comp.os.linux.setup and comp.os.linux.hardware using different 
newsreaders. And indeed: KNode from KDE 2.1.1, tin and Netscape work all fine.

So ... is this a problem in KNode? Has anybody experienced similar things 
(probably this problem is even already known or has even been fixed)?

Any comments are welcome, especially since it is well possible that this is a 
bug in the current KNode (since, as I said, the other newsreaders, including 
the "old" KNode don't have this problem).

Greetings
Nils
