Local Groups Message Body/Headers Blank

Good Evening,

I compiled and installed sn 0.3.8 on a fresh install of OpenBSD 3.9/i386 
  this evening.  After the initial install I found that messages sent to 
locally created groups were showing up in my newsreader as blank.  Upon 
further investigation I found that the only information contained within 
the message was the header "Xref: [host] test.group:10".  This was 
confirmed by opening a telnet session to the nntp port.

Telnet Dump:
   200 Hi, you can post (sn version 0.3.8)
   GROUP test.group
   211 1 10 10 test.group
   ARTICLE 10
   220 10 <0> Article follows
   Xref: [host] test.group:10


   .

Associated log entry:
   snntpd:SNPOST:test.group 10 <1bf8.44b07cff.ad101@[host]>
   snntpd:SNPOST:Posted to test.group

I found that some files (SNHELLO, SNPOST and dot-outgoing.ex) appeared 
to be missing links to bash, as it was not installed.  I redirected the 
she-bang to /bin/sh but found an issue when using snget regarding a < on 
line 80 of SNHELLO.  I then installed bash to resolve any other 
conflicts.  I changed the she-bangs to point to bash and had the same 
issue with blank messages.  I then ran a gmake clean/install and tried 
again - same result.

I installed zlib and tried turning off/turning on compression without 
success.

I also attempted an install of sn 0.3.7 as a test and experienced the 
same message issues.

Any assistance with configuration settings that I may have overlooked or 
pointers on things to try would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
jg
