pre118 - slrnpull still reads huge article numbers

Hi John,

I just built -118 and tried it again on news.motzarella.org - still
giving me problems.  Here's the slrnpull log:

07/10/2008 22:58:34 The server may contain as many as 2126027839
articles in this group
07/10/2008 22:58:34 Only examining last 300 articles since this is a new group
07/10/2008 22:58:34 rec.motorcycles.harley: Retrieving articles
2126027840-2126027840.
07/10/2008 22:58:34 rec.motorcycles.harley: No articles in specified range.

Here's the relevant --debug output:

<211 3330 301 2126028139 rec.motorcycles.harley
>XHDR Message-ID 2126027840-
>

... and just like yesterday, I ran it again 5 minutes later and
everything worked fine:

07/10/2008 23:04:53 rec.motorcycles.harley: Retrieving articles 5306-5605.
07/10/2008 23:04:53 rec.motorcycles.harley: 300 articles available.
07/10/2008 23:05:17 rec.motorcycles.harley: 300/300 (0 killed), Time:
00:00:38, BPS: 18111

The --debug output is different the second time - it looks wrong (mismatch):

<211 4641 227 5605 rec.motorcycles.harley
>GROUP rec.motorcycles.victory
>

followed by the following, which looks right:

<211 4641 227 5605 rec.motorcycles.harley
>XHDR Message-ID 5306-
>

I tried it again a little later and I get the error again:

07/11/2008 00:02:47 rec.motorcycles.harley: Retrieving articles 5606-2126026959.
07/11/2008 00:02:47 rec.motorcycles.harley: 18 articles available.
07/11/2008 00:02:49 rec.motorcycles.harley: 18/18 (16 killed), Time:
00:00:44, BPS: 4621

At this point, I will never download new articles unless I manually
intervene as all new articles will be below 2126026959.

When you ran your test yesterday and it looked good, you should keep
running slrnpull every hour or so using cron to see if the error
manifests itself like it does here.
