[net.news.b] Lines: 0 bug

wjr@x.UUCP (Bill Richard) (10/17/84)

<speaking of bugs...>

	In the past week or so our machine has received a large number
of articles (10+) with 'Lines: 0' in the header, however the articles
actually had quite a few lines in the body. The 10 articles that
I have the headers for show the following common characteristics:

1) The 'Posting-Version' line is missing.

2) They all contain lines line:
	Nf-From: haddock!rob    Oct  8 03:47:00 1984
	Nf-ID: #R:mhuxt:-27000:haddock:11100006:177600:685
   (Which I think means they were created by the 'notesfile' program)

3) They all arrived here via the path:
	Path: x!frog!cybvax0!mit-eddie!godot!ima!{haddock,ism780b,inmet}


As to differences, Various newsgroups are represented as are various
posters. The posting dates range from Oct. 5 to Oct. 14.

I have also seen some postings in various newsgroups that indicate
other sites are seeing this problem. Does anyone out there know what
is going on????
