[leafnode-list] fetchnews problems

[Ken Witherow <phantoml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

this morning fetchnews stopped grabbing messages from most of the groups I
read. Even after some tinkering, it still wouldn't grab the messages so I
decided to backup my news spool and do a fresh install of leafnode. I
resubscribed to the newsgroups I read and here are the results of the
first two runs( the second was run immediately after the first finished ):

the only newsgroup with any articles is alt.dbs.echostar and I've tried
1.9.16 and 1.9.15 and both suffer from the same problem though it was
working just fine yesterday
