	I read nntp groups everyday and I use leafnode. The stall on my
desktop happens when I run fetchnews (which must be run as user "news"
so I have to use sudo). Usually the stall on my desktop happens when
I'm using fetchnews or some other command run by sudo.

	Ok, I'll wait for the breakpoint in the patch Thomas provided.
Now we need just a bit of patience ;).

	Thanks everybody.
