Earlier today I stopped INN, removed entire overview database and did a
"makehistory -Ox".
If took 7 hours to run!!!

After restarting INN I still see "corrupted group entry".
Here's log entrees from today - after building new overview-data:

...data follows, looks okay.......


xover 1

...this gives an entry in the log............

Trying other groups -> same result.
If you gives "xover 1" (or xover 0) you'll see this in the logfile:

Giving "xover" a value lower than lowwatermark not always gives an error.
But giving a value much lower than lowwatermark gives an error.

So I don't think I have to worry about the current errors ?
Do you agree? I think my overview-database is consistent!!!!!
