I have newly installed news software 2.10.2 in my Pyramid 90X and have a problem I can't find. Every now and then, inews seems to read the active file and assign a "next article" number as 9695?. It happens in random groups, at random times, and after it has successfully stored away other articles (in the same group even). The history file says the it stored away article number 9695? and the active file is updated to the new high number. Has anyone else had this problem or have any hints? adams@calma.UUCP -- Robert Adams ...!ucbvax!calma!adams

Sorry to drop this on the net, but it's a irregular C library bug in scanf-related routines. This bug has since been fixed, thanks to topaz!hedrick (who also discovered the bug while working with inews). Contact your Pyramid office for the latest C libraries. -- --Romain Kang, Pyramid Technology Corporation US Mail: 900 Route 9, Woodbridge, NJ 07095 Ma Bell: (201) 750-2626 UUCPnet: {allegra,cmcl2,pyramid,topaz}!pyrnj!romain
