Before going down all articles retreived gives a 'failed' message like this: Aug 11 22:06:26 nntp.box.nl /news/source/nntpcached[1046]: article.c:241: adding <...>:news.box.nl./rec/games/video/sony/98971 to cache.history (failed) Between the last 'suceeded' and the first 'failed' message these messages appear: Aug 11 22:06:26 nntp.box.nl /news/source/nntpcached[47]: nntpcache.c:443:Interrupted system call: Memory currupt Aug 11 22:06:27 nntp.box.nl /news/source/nntpcached[1051]: no Xref header or article number, trying xpath <Pine.SOL.3.91.960807184956.6006A-100000@suma3.reading.ac.uk> Aug 11 22:06:27 nntp.box.nl /news/source/nntpcached[1051]: article.c:40:Illegal seek: path contained suspect characters Regards, Erwin --- Erwin Lubbers <erwin@box.nl> - InterBox PGP key at: http://www.box.nl/~erwin
