latest BETA, CNFS and ovdb

Hello!

Yes, it's true, the latest BETA of INN runs very stable. However, I seem
to have problems using cnfs and ovdb. My overview, at least I think it must
be the overview, seems to be really... well... fucked up.

Almost everytime my users are trying to fetch a parent article they get the
wrong wrong article. Clearly spoken, fetching an article by message ID that is
older than 1-2 days (the cycbuffs didn't even roll over yet!) gives me a
completely wrong message. Sometimes it doesn't even exist.

Is there something I didn't take care of? The new newsserver (I remade him
from scratch) runs about 3 days now, so it can't really be an overview that
has been corrupted "over a long run".

Oh, yes, before you're saying "then don't use BETA", which would normally be
right: I like experiments, I can easily survive bugs like that, if the _new_
newsserver at the moment (which is in an experimantal state itself) really
needed to be 100% reliable I wouldn't use a BETA INN. It's just that I'm
asking if it's my fault (I don't know much about cnfs, ovdb and the other
newer things yet)

Thank you in advance,
Julien
