I'll be happy to do the debugging if there is a way to run Pan in the
foreground, and/or if I can attach a copy of gdb to the running
process. I just looked, and gdb does exist, so that may be an option.

I am closing in on part of the issue. It MIGHT be that it does not
like using a non-standard port number in servers.xml. My news server
provides TLS secured NNTP on port 443 for convenience. If I enable
that, I can be sure it will start crashing on me next time I restart.
