[issue21468] NNTPLib connections become corrupt after long periods of activity

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Perhaps this is similar to Issue 22350 which I just raised. Whenever the NNTP context manager exits, a QUIT command is called, and if the context manager is exiting due to a protocol error or some other exception not handled by the protocol, the code will try and read other protocol data as the QUIT response.

Perhaps your code was interrupted in the middle of reading a yEnc binary body and that is why it looks like garbage?
