Anyone ever use pan?

[dep]

quoth Steve Jardine:
| Tried to use the Pan newsreader. Looks like it will download a few
| files, then I get a failure like a ton of lines with the following
| message:
|
| (Null) - file article.c: line 1092 (article_is_valid): assertion
| `*a->message_id.str =='<'' failed
|
| Used to work without issue.
|
| Anyone have any ideas?

there's wide variance in my experience among minor versions of pan. i'd 
try a different version and see if the problem remains.

It's remarkable how quickly a problem goes away once the people with
a vested interest in there being a problem go away. -- Mark Steyn
