nnslashdot groups hang emacs!

nnslashdot groups hang emacs!

[dave-mlist]

I have been using nnslashdot for the last two days.  It is great!
However, some groups cause emacs to go into an infinite loop when I
enter them.  I see "contacting..." and "1k..." and then "Mark Set" and
then nothing.  When I try to Ctl-g out of it, nothing happens.  My WS
load average goes to 1.  I have to kill emacs to get out.

How can I help you debug this?

I think it is because URL package is not sensitive to `C-g'.

Is there any way to break out of it without killing emacs?

Well, it is usually in a spin of (while ... (accept-process-output process
1)), and if that is not interruptible, it is a bug in emacs.  This should
be less of a problem since everything in the new package is asynch by
default and doesn't do silly things like those asynch loops.

What do you mean by "everything in the new package?"
What new package?

Could you please apply this patch?

Because HotMail only accepts one line cookie, and Netscape, perl LWP
send out one line cookie by default.
