Not sure where to post this, so here goes.

I have a limit of 10,000 messages on my BBS, and when I list the areas that are at the limit, the columns are off:


[1] alt.2600 250
[2] alt.2600.hackers 234
[3] alt.alt.alt.alt.alt 354
[4] alt.bbs 236

[7] alt.coffee 10000
[8] alt.religion.subgenius 160
[9] alt.slack 10000

Maybe check the SubLstFmt line of your ctrl/text.dat file? The current default value accomodates 5 digits:
"\1n\1g[\1h%u\1n\1g] %-40s %12s \1h%5u\r\n" 126 SubLstFmt

generate that list?
