What does the following mean from CNEWS?
relaynews: unbatcher out of synch, tossing: So 5 p lowedu!hft
relaynews: unbatcher out of synch, tossing: From:w1s w.u, AlSo y2to : <qmaultinS OUthirI $35
relaynews: unbatcher out of synch, tossing: Re.O<19ct5
relaynews: unbatcher out of synch, tossing: qmet
relaynews: unbatcher out of synch, tossing: insuuNew gh .
relaynews: unbatcher out of synch, tossing:
relaynews: unbatcher out of synch, tossing: -Atuld b!uda phftrea baothCan Kothir:30k ym ituEVe so
[lots of others deleted]
Did I get some garbled news maybe? I have been having some trouble getting
a new disk installed, maybe there's some corruption ... or is this a typical
news problem (I haven't seen it before). Is it like the "inbound news
is garbled" message that Bnews spits out occasionally?
And how about these:
relaynews: can't link to `talk/politics/misc/7541'
relaynews: can't link to `misc/headlines/3633'
relaynews: can't link to `alt/activism/5646'
relaynews: can't link to `alt/desert-storm/10380'
These files already exist, and are owned by news. There is no reason
given for the "can't link". What would the typcial reason be ??
Thanks!
Bill

Typically this means a batch got garbled in transmission. The bits and pieces looking plausible but not sensible usually means bits got trashed in a compressed file, so uncompress is having fun. >Did I get some garbled news maybe? I have been having some trouble getting >a new disk installed, maybe there's some corruption ... or is this a typical >news problem (I haven't seen it before)... It's rare almost to nonexistence on a properly-configured system running on stable hardware. I'd suspect that new disk. >And how about these: > >relaynews: can't link to `talk/politics/misc/7541' Might be disk problems again.
