I'd suspect that it's rather an artefact of having the spool local to the
(tradspool) writer [x], but alas I can't test the current Solaris setup with
NFS mounted overview spool. I think I'll try without server patch on 
NetBSD and see what I get, but that may take next weekend to happen. 

Oh, and "SET_THIS_IF_YOUR_NNRPD_SLAVES_DONT_SEE_NEW_ARTICLES" is 
kind of bulky ;-)
