empty newgroup messages

[Miquel van Smoorenburg]

I use the default control.ctl file with

all:*:*:mail
newgroup:*:*:mail
rmgroup:*:*:mail

and I run controlchan.

Often, I receive empty control messages by mail like this:

  Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2000 14:15:52 +0100
  From: news <news at wormhole.cistron.net>
  Message-Id: <200001041315.OAA25849 at wormhole.cistron.nl>
  To: usenet at wormhole.cistron.net
  Subject: newgroup oesterreich.alle.sind.ganz.lieb.zu y l.moosi at gmx.net
  X-Envelope-To: miquels at cistron.nl
  Lines: 0

.. while the control message in control.newgroup does contain the
whole body. Is anybody else seeing this? I can't find anything wrong
in bin/controlchan, the perl code to mail the controlmessage to
newsmaster looks fine.

Mike.
