Arithmetic underflow. 
The pine website reports 29 millions users, as of august 2006.
When first starting pine, a new user is prompted whether he wants
to send a message to the pine website. That's how the data are gathered.
See for details http://staff.washington.edu/corey/pine-stats/
I would be interested to know if there are statistics about the gnus userbase.
