Re: [Pan-users] pan 0.139 crash with large groups

[wim delvaux]

I do run on a 64 bit OS with 8GB of memory but Pan consumes several GB of 
memory ( 3 ish)

I finally got my system back up by selecting "delete all selected messages" on 
the group that causes the crash.

This emptied the group and now it works again.
