I've posted this question twice before--to news.sysadmin and 
news.software.b.  Maybe this is the right group to get a response?

I'm getting plagued by errors while reading news which tell me that
my "last article claimed read reset from X to Y."  (Y is always a lower
number than X and always equals the _lowest_ article number residing
on my system (i.e., the lowest which has not been expired).  Next time
I go into vnews (or readnews), I get a lot of articles which I've
already read.

This only happens with newsgroups that are down toward the end of my
.newsrc file, so I presume has something to do with a maximum number of
lines in .newsrc, but don't know this for sure.

Help would be surely appreciated.  Thank you.
