Hi,

I am running inn 2.4.0 and on history rebuild I get some errors

makehistory: cannot write overview data "@050100000E6A0000015A0000000000000000@"
makehistory: cannot write overview data "@050100000E5C00002B520000000000000000@"
makehistory: cannot write overview data "@050100000E5C00002B670000000000000000@"
makehistory: cannot write overview data "@050100000E5C00002B6F0000000000000000@"
...

The Xref-Line of these articles look somewhat strange

$ /usr/lib/news/bin/sm "@050100000E65000002290000000000000000@" | sed '/^$/q'

Xref: alea.gnuu.de 0x4057520e:553

and I found diretories in /var/spool/news/articles which have these names

$ ls -d 0x*
0x4056c010  0x4056c1ca  0x40573412  0x40573c68  0x40574106  0x4057524f

0x4056c167  0x4056e2aa  0x40573bf4  0x405740b0  0x4057520e

all articles stored there

$ grep Message-ID 0x4057520e/553
Message-ID: <b64f5004.0304270632.3a3aed6b at posting.google.com>

Is this a known bug? Is there a script with would correct the article
and store it at the correct place? Which caused this bug?

Here some parts of my inn.conf. If you are interessted in more, tell me
in what.

ovmethod:               tradindexed
storeonxref:            true
useoverchan:            false
wireformat:             false
xrefslave:              false

Bye, Joerg.
