Yep, the issue is with ADNS stuff.. It might be because of not safe thread 
or something else, I just have no idea.. Anyway, I have the shar of Straw 
port in case if you, Manalive, want to try and poke with it. Here's an 
attach of straw.shar.

I personal am looking out on Liferea[1] now, which it's written in C and 
it just work better than Straw. Liferea is young and have some bugs. 
Liferea (news/liferea) is in the ports tree, but I have my own one here 
and it's more up to date. Someone beat me to put Liferea in the ports 
tree. If anyone want my Liferea port, just let me know.

[1] http://liferea.sourceforge.net/

Cheers,
Mezz
