Did you check with a large miltipart yenc encoded posting?
Fedora 14 pan works fine reading simple text articles.
It is the binary yenc encoded postings that pan cannot
recover because of crc errors.  The key phrase is
"PCRC32 mismatch"

I installed Klibido and it too is generally unable to correctly download
yenc encoded files.  A few per cent of the files in a multipart
archive download correctly but most are corrupt, with no
error message displayed.  At least pan complains about it.

I have confirmed that the first 100 parts of the archive
in question are correct.

At the moment I suspect some change in character
classification in some library is causing the problem.
