I found that newshound SEGVs when populating the cache on RHL 7 systems
(well glibc 2.x specifically anyway). Here's the fix:

}
- fclose(cp);
- fclose(cp_h);
- fclose(cp_x);
+ if (cp)
+ fclose(cp);
+ if (cp_h)
+ fclose(cp_h);
+ if (cp_x)
+ fclose(cp_x);
return result;
}
Entirely separately, in nntpcache.servers-dist, I saw some configs had a
very high Group timeout - 2 days. I would have thought this would greatly
confuse clients? Or do clients normally rely on xover anyway? Or does this
assume something like newshound is populating the cache in any case, so the
"group" article count will be pretty accurate really?
