sup talk - Aug 2007 - exception on opening a thread

i did a search on a string, and when i tried to open one of the threads
found by the search, sup died with the following exception.  also, i had to
send this from mutt because i twice tried to send it through sup, and it sat
forever on "sending...".

I''m very sorry, but it seems that an error occurred in Sup.
Please accept my sincere apologies. If you don''t mind, please
send the backtrace below and a brief report of the circumstances
to sup-talk at rubyforge dot orgs so that I might address this
problem. Thank you!

Sincerely,
William

The problem was: ''uninitialized stream'' (error type IOError)
