While doing the usual news reading, I'm noticing quite a few errors of the
following type.

Not sure what triggers it exactly, but during about 1 in every 3 times I
run Pan I see something like:

Thu, 27 Mar 2003 22:03:27 - Loaded 607 articles for group
"alt.cellular.ericsson" in 0.0 seconds (50323 art/sec)

Thu, 27 Mar 2003 22:03:27 - News server connection count: 1

Please shout if you want more detail, I can then attach a runlog or
somethign like it, but that seemed far too large for bugzilla.
