Hmm... that may explain... As I said I haven't been able to reproduce
this problem tho I've seen it reported a couple times, but I cloned my
existing config so already knew I had to adjust the pointers to point at
the new location.
For setup of a new instance, I'd have expected a new pan setup to get it
right as long as the PAN_HOME variable was set properly. If it's not, if
that bit is hard-coded as you say, that's certainly a bug (the more so
since it was Charles himself that I got the PAN_HOME hint from, he said
it worked, so if it didn't, it's a bug). And that bug may explain the
several "pan forgets my newsgroup settings" bugs I've seen reported, but
could never duplicate.

If you did, you sufficiently obfuscated it that I didn't recognize the
implications, because this is the first I've seen of it, and I follow
both groups/lists religiously. Well, either that, or maybe that post
didn't make it to gmane, and thus not to me, since that's how I follow
the pan lists/groups.
But thanks! That potentially clears up /that/ mystery!
@ Rick:
Are you following this or do I need to break it down a bit (now that I
have the new info myself)?
