[news.software.nntp] rrn 'bizarre mode'

hwt@bmerh490.uucp (08/29/89)

We're running rrn 1.4 + patches through 39, on HP 9000/300 and
Sun 3.  Both exhibit a mode where headers aare the only thing visible.
It appears to occur when there are two messages of the same size,
from the same poster, differing (in the headers) only in the message
number.  Sometimes rrn decides that it's out of memory and terminates
after the first non-message, sometimes it doesn't.
 
Marking the duplicate messages read seems to help.
 
Anyone have any thoughts ?
