I just want to say that I'm using a measly 486DX2-66 with 8MB RAM, and
the only crash I have had is an "assertion failure" with expirex.exe
one time. I have several newsgroups which consistently have greater
than 3,000 articles in them (of course, that doesn't say anything
about the actual size of those articles, so it still may be a problem
in that area). I also use yarnx.exe.

Maybe I'm just lucky? (I say this, envisioning 0.92 crashing my
system twice a day.)
