Hi Paul,

sorry for seeing your message only now; I've had a file system (/usr)  
crash and am only recovering slowly.

The message is *generated* by the server. At the time, leafnode has tried  
downloading an article. What causes it, is hard to tell without closer  
inspection.

Can you try to obtain a debug log? Simply run:

fetchnews -evvvvD 131 2>&1 | tee some.log

Then gzip, bzip2, or lzma the some.log file and send it to me IN PRIVATE  
(to the gmx.de address) - it's too large for the list. I'll then see if I  
can figure out what's up.

Best regards
