SYMPTOMS
========

When you create a newsfeed in the Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Administrator
program, the program may terminate unexpectedly after you import an active file
from an Internet Service Provider (ISP). A progress dialogue will appear briefly
and then the Exchange Server Administrator program will terminate. No events are
logged or crash dumps produced.

CAUSE
=====

The active file contains a list of all newsgroups that the ISP will be supplying
through this newsfeed. If the name of one of these newsgroups exceeds 578
characters, then this problem will occur.

version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the
