I'm having some problems with Cnews, which is about a week old on telly.
No, I'm not talking about the nasty message it sent out to the neighbour
that used to send me some stuff via ihave/sendme - that's another story.
This problem is far more basic - there are MANY duplicate articles
which aren't getting rejected. Many are, but I'm finding a lot of articles
showing up multiple times.
For instance, "grep 15804@utzoo /usr/lib/news/history" gives me:
<1989May6.140024.15804@utzoo.uucp> 610489487~- tor.news.stats/4420
<1989May6.140024.15804@utzoo.uucp> 610595929~- tor.news.stats/4467
<1989May6.140024.15804@utzoo.uucp> 610610631~- tor.news.stats/4483
Two of the articles share a path utzoo!attcan!telly, the other came in
via tmsoft.
One thing that is repeatable, is that if relaynews runs a batch which is
rejected for one reason or another, if I fix the problem and run the
batch back through, any articles which got inserted correctly the
first time get re-inserted on the second attempt.
I notice that the history.pag file has not grown above 400K, even though
the history text file is well past a meg. This was definitely not similar
to Bnews' dbm, where the .pag file usually showed up to be double the
size of the text file, generally.
Suggestions? Please mail your help. Thanks.
