I have now found that I get this if I use ved_postnews after creating
a propbox such as illustrated in TEACH PROPSHEET. I previously wrote
that it might be curable by
true -> ved_send_wait
but it isn't. For me this problem seems to be totally repeatable, so if
that's true for others it should be easy for an expert to track down,
if it hasn't already been fixed at Sussex.
Pity, because I have just implemented a menu-driven front end for
reading and posting news, and although it works for reading it can`t be
used for posting till this problem is fixed.
(Which suggests that the bug has something to do with writing stuff into
the pipe in a fork).
