Well, Xref: is actually not stored in the article but generated on the fly,
so that explains why that header is there.

I believe this is the third report of problems on OpenBSD, but so far no one
has debugged what is causing it. It seems there is some trouble either read=
ing
or writing to the article database.

You could try running with -Pddd added on the command lines to get maximum =
debug
output and see if there's any error reported.

If you look in /your/spool/test.group/1, do you see your test article there=
 or
is it empty?

Speculation: sn uses mmap() for accessing the database. Maybe there is some
difference there in OpenBSD vs. Linux/Solaris/FreeBSD (where sn works).
