I hope this is indeed that problem. On the other hand, that one seems to 
happen when decoding files, which AFAIK is not the case here (text-only 
groups on news.gmane.org).

I really hope this will be fixed. I have it happening really always now 
that I have to delete the task before new articles appear in any group on 
news.gmane.org, and this makes pan surely a PITA. At least a timeout 
mechanism which would stop tasks from becoming stuck eternally would be 
interesting (where a timeout of 5 seconds would already be more than 
enough for me).
