Here's a simple way to crash ANU News. Get on a slow speed link, like a 14.4k modem or a decnet connection over a 256k line. Hold down the down arrow for a long time, like when you are scrolling through a lot of messages and have a slow link. 5 seconds or so should do the trick. Then, BOOM! News dumps you out. Sometimes you'll get an overrun error and news will recover, then complain when you exit, or at least it used to. Now it's more direct.
