Yes, I've put it in my live nnrpd. Thousands of articles which were
still in the overview and index - and therefore being presented to news
readers using XOVER etc - couldn't be retrieved before, and now they can
again. They were all still there on the disk, uncorrupted. The "size
overflows bitmaps" error is still being reported to syslog, but at least
it isn't inconveniencing my users.
