CNFS offset problems

[Jeffrey M. Vinocur]

CNFS problems started suddenly yesterday.  Any ideas?

This is CURRENT.  Config is:
cycbuff:CONTRL1:/usr/local/news/spool/cnfs/control1:10000
cycbuff:GENERL1:/usr/local/news/spool/cnfs/general1:1500000
cycbuff:GENERL2:/usr/local/news/spool/cnfs/general2:1500000
metacycbuff:CONTROL:CONTRL1
metacycbuff:GENERAL:GENERL1,GENERL2:SEQUENTIAL

And while cnfsstat works, if I add -a it doesn't:
