[news.software.b] A problem with patch #6

david@ci-dandelion.UUCP (04/03/87)

After I applied patch #6, all incoming news from two of our three
connected sites failed.  Those sites are the two that send us news
unbatched.  The problem showed up with or without GENERICPATH 
and GENERICFROM defined.

In /usr/lib/news/errlog, lines like this appeared:

Apr  2 15:43	uucp	inews: : Inbound news is garbled
Apr  2 16:05	uucp	inews: : Inbound news is garbled

In /usr/lib/news/log, lines like this appeared:

Apr  2 15:43	ulowell	: Inbound news is garbled
Apr  2 16:05	ulowell	: Inbound news is garbled

The headers on the incoming news looked fine.  It's time-consuming
to debug this kind of problem, so I would ask that anyone who has
already had and solved this problem share their information.
