Hi! Thank you for the report! I'm going to sleep now and will look at this in about 18 hours. The error looks like it comes from CURL. Here are a few suggestions to narrow the problem down:

  1. please post the whole output of newsboat -v so I can see the Curl version;
  2. try deleting half the feeds from the urls file, and see if the problem persists. Keep at it until you narrow it down to a single URL that still causes the crash. You might find that any URL crashes it, or maybe it's some particular site that's causing this;
  3. when you have a URL that you know crashes Newsboat, try it with command-line Curl to see if it will crash too;
  4. the config doesn't seem to contain anything relevant, but try moving it aside and reloading without it.

I was gonna say how I was going to close this but I just noticed I don't know how or am able to close the issue, but what @polyzen said was right and it fixed the issue. Thanks for the answer btw!

I believe there should be a "Close Issue" button next to "Comment" button. Anyway, I'm glad the problem got resolved quickly!
