Strange. My machine has: * 1 gigabyte memory installed, over 300 megabytes currently free * over 10 gig free on /home, which is where I'm running "arch" * Python 2.2.1, which I believe is fairly current because I just installed it last week from one of python.org's mirrors Does anything here sound too "light" for this? I am beginning to suspect it has something to do with certain messages, though that "wall" at 80 messages seems to be fixed, because I can duplicate it on multiple mbox files.
