Subject: Move to: elog crashes with large no of entries being moved. 
Hi Stefan,

I've been slowly moving threads, and twice now so far (and reproducably) had elog crash.

In each case, it is trying to move a thread with more than 24 entries; it copies the first 24 entries, then
crashes with "Segmentation Fault".  It does not erase the lock file /var/run/elog.pid

I have got around this by manually copying the entries beyond no 24, then deleting the thread entry by entry.

I am aware that I have an old and limited machine (586, 256MB RAM, running Slack 10), and at first I was
"content" to write it off as that; but when it crashed for the second time at exactly the same entry (the
twenty-forth) even though the size of the entries would have been significantly different, I wondered if there
was some factor within  elog that could affect this.

I've not tried it with Copy to:, but imagine it will also be affected as the only difference with this and Move
to: is the deletion of the thread after all the entries had been copied.
