#6 XPN won't work anymore

[Volker]

After marking a single thread in a group for download an then activating "get bodies in marked articles .." XPN worked for about three minutes - an then gave a window with the following message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./xpn.py", line 3062, in <module>
main=MainWin(options.use_home,options.custom_dir)
File "./xpn.py", line 2992, in __init__
self.show_subscribed()
File "./xpn.py", line 570, in show_subscribed
for article in articles.itervalues():
File "UserDict.py", line 112, in itervalues
for _, v in self.iteritems():

yield (k, self[k])
File "shelve.py", line 113, in __getitem__
value = Unpickler(f).load()
ValueError: insecure string pickle

From that moment, i couldn't do anything in XPN - i couldn't even Quit it from its menu, i had to kill it by Linux' command-line "kill ..."

Now i cannot even restart it it fails with the same mesage (ok, didn't restart may machine or my KDE-Sesson, i wil do that not before tomorrow, 09:00a.m. ;) )

Using Kubuntu 7.04 "feisty fawn" here.

Any body out there with an idea?
