I think I'm making progress.  I think the above core dump was due to a 
resource shortage under vmware.  I now have OpenSolaris Indiana installed 
natively and have successfully compiled and run pan.  I do have one 
problem, however.  I restored my .pan2 director from backup and it appears 
pan "forgot" which groups I was subscribed to and which articles I had 
read.  The latter is the more troublesome, especially on GigaNews.  To test 
I resubscribed to one group and opened it up and found unread articles 
dating back to January of 2008.  :-( Has anyone seen similar problems and, 
hopefully, does anyone know of a way to recover the read article info?
