pan pain

[The Martian]

Hi

After trying Pan 0.9.7 and finding it so buggy as to be unusable, went
back to 0.9.6 which is far better, thats ok on my RH6.2 box (2.4.5-ac14
kernel), now on the RH7.1 box with the same kernel, Pan crashes all the
time, no not segfaults just stops dead, needs a kill -9 to kill it.

Any thoughts?

maybee back to slrn :-)

Seeing the same thing on 2.4.5-5mdk.
When it reads a out of sequence character when
reading a gif, prints a message and locks up.

Sorry I can't help with your 0.9.6 problem, did you read the revision
history on the Pan site?

I also switched back to 0.9.6 after 0.9.7pre just crashed all the time.
Tried 0.9.7 final a couple of days ago, more bugs! It did not display
message counts correctly, AND when I marked threads/messages as read,
they would show up as unread the next day!

Gota say, I am happy with 0.9.6......

My experience is the opposite - I compiled 0.9.7_images on my RH 7.1 box
under Ximian (X 4.0.3) and it's by far the most stable version I've seen.
None of the below problems you seem to have had. I'm also running Evo
from cvs. At some point the rpm install of Pan 0.9.7-images broke so I
uninstalled & grabbed the source. I'm perhaps erroneously tying the two
together, but the somewhat rapid lib changes due to Evo may have
contributed to the problems. As of now the planets must be aligned
because both are stable. Congrats to both programming teams.

Was going to upgrade to 9.7, but after hearing what has been said maybe I
will just stick with 9.6 for a while longer.

Reason I wanted to upgrade is that after I delete headers from a group
they continue to show up the next time I open Pan. Big pain to go back
and review all of those headers again. It is really pretty clumsy when
you compare it to Agent.

Oh well, maybe 10.0

0.9.6 is not exactly wonderfull, there are bugs etc, unstable under RH7.1
etc, but still much better than the unusable 0.9.7.

Sounds like a GUI rendering problem to me. Maybe your Gnome, GTK or
Sawfish libraries are incompatible? Try running Pan from a shell prompt
and see what error messages you get.
