I am sorry to report a bug in my own code; however it does exist! In version
7.42, in the file bbsc2.c, please change line 182 from:
 
               if(len > 72) {

to

                if(len >= 72) {

This BUG is apparent whenever a line is blocked <right justified> and then
reblocked. The code will just hang indefinately.

The above fix is all that is necessary.
 
Sandy
