exited on signal 6

[David Kelly]

Pointed pan2-0.14.2 at a newsgroup with over 750,000 messages. Watching 
the process in top I see it gets up to 470M and about 425M in core. 
Have seen the size over 525M. In any case for this particular newsgroup 
pan core dumps on signal 6. An "abort"? Where is this signal coming 
from?

Have done nothing to /etc/login.conf, the field is blank in my account 
so "default" should be in effect. "Default" is unlimited.

KDE is my window manager.

System is an Athlon 800 with 640MB and about 1.7G of swap in 3 
partitions and disks. At the time of the core dump only 150MB of swap 
is being used but there was about 100MB of swap activity in the moments 
before.

The filesystem hosting my account has 63G free.

Archive search didn't turn up anything of use but that may be due to my 
skills at forming a search expression, or limits of the search engine.
