I haven't had time to analyse this one in detail yet, but the error messages logged when a post is done to a server which is throttled are a tad strange:- nntpcached[10002]: sockets.c:90:Illegal seek: <- 400 No space left on device writing article file -- throttling nntpcached[10002]: nntpcache.c:486:Illegal seek: Memory corrupt I think the second message is a side effect of passing back a NULL pointer from attachServer() where the error message is generated. However I don't currently understand the logic within the post code so cannot trace it down. :-( The process appears to keep working fine after this so its pretty cosmetic.
