[leafnode-list] Strange problem with 2.0.0.alpha20050412a

[John Carlyle-Clarke]

Hi-

I am seeing an odd problem, and I can't work out if it's a problem 
with a remote server, or a leafnode problem.

Since this first appeared during my 4am fetch, I have not got any 
new articles appearing.

Here is an extract from the log which shows the strange behaviour:

[ continues like this for a while, querying a whole bunch of 
groups.. then nothing until the next fetch begins at 7am]

In my configuration, I aggregate a bunch of specialist servers 
(Microsoft, Borland, GMANE, Autodesk..) with our ISP's general 
newsfeed.

It occurs to me that I could make things more efficient by using 
only_groups_pcre on the specialist servers, but I've been using this 
config for years now without a problem.

Any idea what is causing it?

By the way Matthias, I have emailed you some log files, my groupinfo 
file, and my config file in case that helps.

Thanks!
