Nntpcache-1.0.2 writes incomplete (truncated) history file entries for
articles with `_` in the path. For example:
63 BsoftadURa2N_7MB.X@clari.net
news.connix.com/clari/tw/new
The correct path of the article is news.connix.com/clari/tw/new_media/...
I believe the problem is in article.c, and can be fixed with the
following patch:
*** /usr/local/src/nntpcache-1.0.2/article.c~ Fri Feb 21 10:01:26 1997
--- /usr/local/src/nntpcache-1.0.2/article.c Tue Mar 11 10:17:22 1997
