Problems rebuilding history

[Jeffrey M. Vinocur]

Russ, I'm forced to conclude there must be a bug in the new overview 
implementation :-/

This is CURRENT from Oct 1.

After doing the following:

# rm -rf spool/overview/* db/history*
# bin/makehistory -b -O -e -l 100000 -F
# bin/makedbz -s 750000
# mv db/history.n.dir db/history.dir
# mv db/history.n.hash db/history.hash
# mv db/history.n.index db/history.index
# chown -R news.news db/ spool/overview

I can retrieve articles by article number but not by Message-ID.  (And as 
a result, the nightly expire run renumbers all of the old articles out of 
existence.)
