We had the same problem with our 2.9 news.  We knew we had a problem
when some users reported that their .newsrc files had been chewed up.
In looking around, I found the spool directories whose names began
with a blank and the similar lines in the active file and the users'
.newsrcs.  Now we know the cause.   Since we have upgraded to 2.10.1,
the problem has not recurred... yet.
