caused by fetchnews. Rather than nntpd doesn't seem to mark articles 
for download by appending their numbers to the corresponding file 
in interesting.groups. 

I have added some additional syslog calls in nntpd.c from which I 
could see that markdownload is not executed because the expression
( *s != '\n' ) evalutates to false (whatever that means). :-/
 
Here is what the debug log says:

BTW: I'm using tin-1.4.2, if this is of some relevance.

Any ideas?
