Summary: SEGV during concurrent access.

Initial Comment:
My noffle 1.1.2 crashed during fetch.  This happened
while the connection had already been stuck (at step
[17/19]) for some time, because I had some download
taking up all bandwidth.  I decided to read some news
in the meantime but when I opened the newsgroup
saar.markt.wohnung in the newsreader, noffle instantly
crashed.  I could not find any core dump lying around.

This is not the only problem I had with concurrent
access.  I am using an automated script to archive
news.answers using NNTP STAT followed by a NEXT loop
until it gets a 223.  Several times I read news while
the script was running and it bailed out because it
noticed the article ID had been reset to the first
article in the group instead of being increased by NEXT
to the next available article.

Output of noffle:
