Re: [leafnode-list] Problems after upgrade to 1.9.33



[Please let me know if these mails are getting too long; I don't want to drown 
the list in logfiles...]

Hullo again.  I'm afraid I'm still having the same strange problem.  After my 
last post, I added another verbosity level to the fetchnews invocation (I 
know it says in the manpage that the output won't necessarily make sense, but 
I was hoping for some clue...)

This moring, I connected to my news server, and it fetched only the articles 
for one group, demon.service.  I've omitted some of the repetitive output so 
as not to post huge amounts to the list, but this is basically what the log 
showed:

So, everything fine for demon.service, then fetchnews says it'll fetch a bunch 
of articles in uk.local.southwest, and then it just seems to give up.

Then, I immediately ran fetchnews again, and got 

demon.service: no new articles

followed by exactly the same output from uk.local.southwest, ending with:

uk.local.southwest: will fetch 9196 
(/var/spool/news/message.id/231/<dJSea.9$Zd6.6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>)
Disconnected from news.demon.co.uk.

I then turned on debugmode.  This is what I got in news.all:

Now, I could understand if it did the same thing every time, but here's the 
weird thing: I then ran it _again_, in exactly the same way, debugmode on, 
with vvvv verbosity, and it worked.  Absolutely fine.  I got articles in all 
the subscribed groups bar one low-traffic one.  93 new articles in total, 
which is what I'd expect.

Any ideas where I go from here?  I can't see what to do next, really.

Thanks,

Matt
