And there's the CR that my patch sorta fixed...  Perhaps it should check
for NUL, "\r" or "\n"?  Probably just dropping the test is fin.

Hm.  Odd.  The high water mark for me is the actual highest number in
the group.

Is it possible you've posted the articles you're cancelling in the same
nnrpd session as you're cancelling the articles, and that's why it
hasn't updated the high water mark?  Or that the cancelling nnrpd
session is older than the posting session?

Not that I know of, except this one:

Yes.

My inn.conf has been pretty much constant since inn 1.x days, so perhaps
there's a new default in 2.x that my inn.conf is lacking?

Right.  Try posting, closing the nnrpd connection, opening a new one,
and then cancel the article, and see what happens...
