I'm seeing sudden halts while downloading headers or articles, but I don't
normally let pan sit idle so I can't address your specific use-case.

I suggest you run pan from gdb (from a bash shell prompt) and look for
error messages.

I see one of two errors when I run pan from gdb:  either a corrupted double-
linked list (hard to imagine if pan is sitting idle) or a segfault, usually
involving gnutls.

Come to think of it, the segfault causes pan to close, but the corrupt linked
list error just causes pan to be unresponsive while still running.

I have trouble seeing how an idle pan could cause a linked-list corruption,
but my imagination isn't what it used to be :/
