| Some sort of problem with article numbering, I would expect.  What storage
| mechanism are you using?  If tradspool, what file names are the two

Storage mechanism used is  timehash. Initially I was using traditional spool
and timehash. Then the overview indices were not created properly for 
traditional spool newsgroups. Then I shifted to timehash for all 
newsgroups.
