I think I had exactly the same problem when switching to Version 1.3,
since this Version (I think it was this one) newsx opens multiple
connections to your News-Server (that's what -W 10 is doing, rigth?) by
default, but the servers I connect to don't like that when you want to
fetch a newsgroup-list.
If I recall correctly adding a -W 0 to the command line solved the
problem for me.
