[news.software.b] Inbound news is garbled

dyer@spdcc.COM (Steve Dyer) (09/25/90)

I seem to get periods of hours at a time when my NNTP feeds send me
articles which generate syslog messages of the form:

Sep 25 01:29:07 ursa-major nntpd[20793]: /usr/local/bin/rnews: inews: : Inbound news is garbled
Sep 25 01:29:08 ursa-major nntpd[20793]: spawn: /usr/local/bin/rnews exit status 1

Does anyone know what might be going on, and whether it's something I should
be worrying about?  Is it a problem with my software or at the senders end?
Is there a way to patch this?  I'm running B news 2.11.19.
