[description of .jnewsrc snipped]

I've tried fiddling with .jnewsrc, but that doesn't seem to be
the problem.  I retrieve news with slrnpull, which retrieves
articles and updates .jnewsrc accordingly.  This has worked
properly both before and after my problem began.  I read the
articles at my leisure using slrn, which shouldn't be going
anywhere near a server; I have the following lines in .slrnrc:

set server_object "spool"
set post-object "slrnpull"
set use_slrnpull 1

I'm trying to figure out why slrn is saying "Server read failed"
when I've told it not to access a server.

Again, my issue is not with the spool, but why slrn seems to
be trying to bypass it and access the server directly.  Unless
that "server read failed" message is a red herring...
