Trn help needed(again)

[The Ancient Programmer]

	I was running mthreads (trn 1.0.1), when it began be run amock,
filling up mt.log. I have since upgraded to trn v1.0.2, and mthreads now 
dumps core or produces the output shown below.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
mthreads -z -vvvv

                                                        ^^^^^^
Note the displaced prompt.

	Mt.log is filled with messages such as:
May  3 11:35 comp.graphics: Invalid author in data file: -18648 [0]
			:
                        :
May  3 13:28 comp.sys.atari.st: Missing reference line!  [36361]
	(many, MANY of these)
			:
May  3 13:29 misc.consumers: Reference ended in '*'.


	and so on and on .....

	Can anyone tell me what is happening here? Is Trn screwing up
or has the news gone bad?  I'm running remote trn on a Sun4 (OS 4.1.1)
using a Decstation 5000 as the news server.



	Thanx in advance,
