It's simply the last errno set (which is sometimes useful to know). In both of these cases the upstream server has gone down at some prior point. nntpcache globally "caches" the upstream sever status (i.e in shared memory, so all the children know about it) in order to avoid re-testing dead-servers too frequently. The news-reader has asked for a LISTGROUP that would normally have been farmed out to the dodo server, but since it's already been marked down nntpcache doesn't think it's worth the bother (just yet). My guess is that the listgroup code is somehow not dealing with the dodo server correctly. From a cursory look I can't see anything obviously amis. Can you provide a stack strace?

Once this happens the whole nntpcache process crew is likely to throw a wobbly. Possibly related to the first two cases.
