[news.software.nntp] Problems in rrn; more info...

tpc@bnr-fos.UUCP (Tom Chmara) (06/13/89)

I posted a note here about a week ago regarding a problem with rrn we'd
been seeing (exacerbated by the move to nntp 1.5.5 from 1.5.4).  Symptoms	included blank (empty) articles, and a mismatch between rrn's perception	
of article IDs and the server machine's filesystem.  As yet, no one has
responded; am I posting to the wrong place?

One particular machine is experiencing the problem more than any of the
others.  Some more characteristics of the problem follow, courtesy one
of the more dedicated (frustrated?) users.

I am now able to recreate the "empty article body" problem. To recreate:
 1) edit .newsrc to get 'sci.space 1-4160'
 2) go into rn and get to sci.space. (I have all other groups uptodate so I get
    into sci.space right away).
 3) it should shoule article 4161 first. Both ^N and n should go to article 4162.
 4) Article 4162 will have empty body. As will subsequent articles until I do
    an N or P.

Also, quiting out of rn and going in again seems to clear the problem.
