Only subscribed to one newsgroup. It has been working fine until today. It shows
there are currently 198 unread messages. Now when I click (left or right mouse
button) on the newsgroup folder name, Mozilla crashes and Windows reports;
MOZILLA caused a stack fault in module MSVCRT.DLL at 0167:7800110d.

I can't even unsubscribe to try get it working again.
I am unsure if Talkback data was sent on error?
Off to see what happens under Linux.
Will also remove and recreate News account.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to open subscribed newsgroup
2.
3.

Actual Results:  Stack fault

Expected Results:  Display contents of newsgroup

I unsubscribed by right clicking on News account and selecting Unsubscribe from
the Subscribe dialogue. Clicked OK to commit change and returned to Subscribe
dialogue. I resubscribed to the same newsgroup. It still displayed 198 unread
and now works correctly.
