 I have a strange problem (!?) with CNews (SLS-binaries). If the news-
 system reads the incoming newsbatches, a lot of them are thrown away
 to the /usr/spool/news/in.coming/bad directory. 'errlog' tells me about
 bad news-batches (out of sync..).

 The curious thing: We did some tests with the news-serving uucp-site;
 there also runs CNews and the same batches were stripped ok, so that
 any extern problems seems out of question. I'd made another test -
 throwing the incoming news-batches to the Waffle(DOS)-rnews: the same
 problems (out of sync) occurs.

 Within the CNews-Sources is a little notice about 'seems to be a little
 bit too hard against bad news-batches..', nothing else. What could be
 wrong ? The problem seems to occur _before_ newsrun get starting. I'ld
 be glad for any idea/help !

 System: Linux-0.99-5, root-device runs extfs, /usr/spool/news runs minixfs.
         News polled with g-proto & hardware-handshake on & 16550Uart.

 Thanks,
 Lutz
