  I'm in the process of bringing up a new machine using cnews.  This machine
(that I'm posting from) has bnews 2.11 on it, but given that it has 
4K users and cnew's reputation for speed I thought I'd give it a try.
  I actually found the cnews installation to be easier than bnews;
but that's not the point.  
  I'm now feeding news from my bnews system to my cnews system and
finding that after each batch the errlog file is huge; 500K.  Most
of the bulk is "relaynews:  unbatcher out of synch, tossing: " etc.
  I am now in the process of looking through the source code to see
why exactly the two systems (unbatcher relaynews) get out of
synch, and thought I'd post in the hopes of finding a ready-made
solution.  Is it something that I'm doing wrong?  Anyone else
run into this trouble?
