Please have a look at my previous mail, i really think this is an
important problem in INN.

Here's such a corrupt part of xover output. After the article number it
is clearly wrong:

102763  ntrol.cancel:54660852 cmsg cancel <IE2G6P0K.7K0M0240 at c3comp.com>      Cosmo Roadkill <cosmo.roadkill%bofh.int at rauug.mil.wi.us>        27 Sep 1999 09:01:05 GMT        <cancel.IE2G6P0K.7K0M0240 at c3comp.com>           1746    9 Xref: news.eur.cis.philips.com control.cancel:54660853 cmsg canc

and another one, different:
