I've been having the same problem. I'm also running debian but 1.9.40. I
connect to two servers (to make sure I don't miss any articles). Here
are the relevent lines:

Jun 18 21:15:23 tc fetchnews[14827]: >DATE
Jun 18 21:15:23 tc fetchnews[14827]: <111 20030619011523
Jun 18 21:15:23 tc fetchnews[14827]: check_date: news.speakeasy.net:
server time 1055985323, our time 1055985323

Jun 18 21:15:33 tc fetchnews[14827]: >DATE
Jun 18 21:15:33 tc fetchnews[14827]: <111 20030619005943
Jun 18 21:15:33 tc fetchnews[14827]: check_date: free.teranews.com:

The debian binary package.
