i did a search on a string, and when i tried to open one of the threads                              
found by the search, sup died with the following exception.  also, i had to
send this from mutt because i twice tried to send it through sup, and it sat
forever on "sending...".

----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm very sorry, but it seems that an error occurred in Sup.
Please accept my sincere apologies. If you don't mind, please
send the backtrace below and a brief report of the circumstances
to sup-talk at rubyforge dot orgs so that I might address this
problem. Thank you!

Sincerely,
William

The problem was: 'uninitialized stream' (error type IOError)
A backtrace follows:

i think these problems were caused by the "too many open files" problem.
