Got a wierd crash today - was able to work around it, but thought you would want to know about it. Started up NewsbinPro, and hit the Download Latest headers button for all my groups. Got immediate crash of the application. Tried again, same thing. So, went through each group one by one downloading latest for each group seperately - all worked till I got to the group alt.binaries.kindle - it crashed on that one. All other groups worked okay. Then tried purge posts to display age, still crashed. Compacted database, still crashed. Purged all posts for that group and all was okay again. All working fine now, but figured I'd post the issue and its workaround in case anyone else hits it. I assume something got corrupt in that database area?

I am running 6.53, build 3311

all worked till I got to the group alt.binaries.kindle - it crashed on that one.

Might want to upgrade to 6.54. I've turned on more robust database protection in it.

Thanks for the info.
