[news.software.b] What does this error message mean?

  My errlog is filled with the following:

May 26 06:51    Unknown inews: rnews failed, status 256. Batch saved in /var/spo
ol/news/.bad/9105261006c8c

 I looked at some of the articles in question and I can't see anything
obviously wrong with them, but there are a *lot* of articles in that
directory know, so something is definitely wrong, somewhere. Any suggestions
would be most welcome. (Other than switching to C news.)

  Oh, this is B news running over nntp.
